Kasabian 2026 Tour: Dates & How to Get Tickets

Looking for Kasabian’s 2026 tour dates, or how to get tickets? Kasabian have announced Nothing Better Than This, a five-date UK arena tour in December 2026 with support from The Vaccines. General sale opened on 17 July 2026. Here are the dates, how the on-sale worked, and your options if a date sells out.

This page brings together all five confirmed dates and the full presale and general sale timeline in one place, with plain answers on pricing and what to do if a show sells out.

What are the Kasabian 2026 tour dates?

Kasabian play five UK arena dates in December 2026 as part of the Nothing Better Than This tour: Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, London and Manchester, one show per city. The full schedule, in date order, is below.

The tour is named after "Nothing Better Than This", a track from Kasabian’s ninth studio album, Act III, released 4 September 2026. It follows a summer headline show at Finsbury Park, London, in July 2026, where the band played to 45,000 people.

Who is supporting Kasabian on tour?

The Vaccines support Kasabian at all five arena dates in December 2026, from the Birmingham opener on Friday 11 December through to the Manchester closing night on Saturday 19 December. They are the only support act announced for the tour, with no additional local acts named for individual shows.

When did Kasabian tickets go on sale?

Presale opened on Wednesday 15 July 2026 at 9am, available to fans who pre-ordered the album Act III through the band’s official store or registered for one of the venue presales in each city. General sale opened on Friday 17 July 2026 at 9am through the tour’s official on-sale route, with a limit of six tickets per fan.

Presale access varied slightly by city: the Glasgow and Manchester venue presales opened on 15 July alongside the artist presale, while the Cardiff and Birmingham venue presales followed on 16 July. All routes fed into the same Friday general sale.

How much are Kasabian tickets?

Glasgow tickets were reported at £56.80 to £90.85 face value when the tour was announced in July 2026, the only city with a published price band. Those are face-value figures, before any booking fee added at the checkout. Prices for Birmingham, Cardiff, London and Manchester were not published as a set figure; the official on-sale checkout shows the exact price for each seat before you buy.

What if a Kasabian date sells out?

If a specific date sells out through the official on-sale, the safest way back in is an official face-value resale or a returned ticket released by the original seller or the venue box office. This keeps the price at face value and avoids the risks of buying from an unofficial source. Promoters sometimes add extra dates or release held-back tickets closer to the show, so it’s worth checking the official on-sale route again nearer December.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, anyone reselling a ticket must show the face value, the exact seat or section, and any restrictions before you buy; a listing that hides these details is a warning sign. A price cap on ticket resale has been announced by the UK government and is currently a draft bill going through pre-legislative scrutiny, so it is not yet law; treat above-face-value resale with caution until it is.

Corporate hospitality can also be a legitimate route in when the standard allocation has gone.

Was the Oasis "dynamic pricing" story relevant to Kasabian’s tour?

The Oasis case did not involve Kasabian, so it has no direct bearing on this tour. It is relevant only as a general reminder about price transparency. In September 2025 the UK competition regulator secured changes from a major ticketing platform after its Oasis sale, finding that fans were not clearly told standing tickets were sold at two different price levels, with some costing around two and a half times the standard price for nothing extra.

The regulator did not find evidence of dynamic pricing; the issue was a lack of transparency about tiered pricing. The same disclosure principle applies to any UK ticket sale: a price should be clear and explained before you pay, whichever platform sells it.

Kasabian hospitality options

Corporate hospitality at UK arena shows typically includes padded seating, a private lounge or box, and pre-show dining or drinks, on top of the standard ticket available to the general public. Facilities vary by venue: Utilita Arena Birmingham, OVO Hydro Glasgow, Utilita Arena Cardiff, The Arena London and Co-op Live Manchester each run their own hospitality suites and boxes alongside the main bowl.
