South Arcade Add Germany To Their Biggest Headline Tour Yet
Oxford pop-punk upstarts South Arcade are stepping up in a big way for 2027. After confirming what Kerrang called their biggest ever UK and Ireland headline run, the Welcome To The Real World Tour has now grown into a proper European trip, with three German club shows bolted onto the back end of the schedule.
The confirmed route: Belfast, Limelight, UK, 7 February 2027. Dublin, 3Olympia, Ireland, 8 February. Leeds, O2 Academy, UK, 10 February. Manchester, Academy 1, UK, 12 February. Newcastle, NX, UK, 13 February. Glasgow, Barrowlands, UK, 14 February. Birmingham, O2 Academy, UK, 16 February. Nottingham, Rock City, UK, 18 February. Norwich, UEA, UK, 19 February. Cardiff, Great Hall, UK, 21 February. Bristol, O2 Academy, UK, 22 February. London, O2 Academy Brixton, UK, 25 February. Berlin, Lido, 5 March. Munich, Strom, 11 March. Cologne, CBE, 16 March.
South Arcade formed in 2021 while its members were still at university in Guildford before relocating to singer Harmony Cavelle's house in Oxford, and the band, rounded out by Harry Winks, Ollie Green and Cody Jones, has built a loud, nostalgic sound pulling from classic pop-punk, alt-rock and a dash of nu metal. Their debut EP, 2005, landed in December 2024 on LAB Records, and the London Brixton date on this run is described as the band's biggest headline show to date. The German leg, covering Berlin, Munich and Cologne, is the band's first proper mainland European run since breaking out as part of a wider Y2K pop-punk revival.
The Cologne show at CBE is listed at 36.20 euros through Eventim. Pricing for Berlin and Munich had not been published at the time of writing, and no on-sale date was stated for any of the three German shows.
