The Kooks announce Belfast show in celebration of 20 years of Inside In / Inside Out

The Kooks have announced a show at Custom House Square, Belfast, on July 4, 2026, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their debut album Inside In / Inside Out.

Released in January 2006, Inside In / Inside Out peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart.

The record was certified 4× Platinum in the UK and produced several UK Top 40 singles, including 'Naive', which reached No. 5, and 'She Moves in Her Own Way', which reached No. 7.

"We didn't sit down with a blueprint," said lead vocalist Luke Pritchard. "We just naturally developed and we didn't try to shape or mould ourselves to anything."
