Rick Astley announces Dublin and Belfast dates for 2026

Rick Astley is bringing The Reflection Tour to Ireland. He will be headlining Belfast's SSE Arena, on April 13 and Dublin's 3Arena, on April 14 with special guest Gabrielle.

The tour will see him play a string of 12 dates across the UK and Ireland, kicking things off on April 10 at Glasgow's Ovo Hydro. The run will culminate in a headline show, at London's O2 Arena on April 25.

"After taking a break in 2025, Rick is excited to head out on his UK and Ireland arena tour next year and is looking forward to performing live again," read the statement.

In 2016, Astley shared his comeback record 50, which was his first number #1 album in 29 years. His eighth studio album Are We There Yet? released in 2023, reached #2 on the UK Album charts.

Astley recently played a double bill at Glastonbury, and has collaborated with Blossoms and Foo Fighters during a number of memorable live shows.

The 'Never Gonna Give You Up' singer also took to Instagram to celebrate hitting 1 billion streams on Spotify.
