Inspiration • September 2nd, 2026
|Two major UK tours are heading to Yorkshire this autumn, bringing veteran singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan and British music favourites Squeeze to venues across the region.
Music fans will have several opportunities to catch the acts, with O'Sullivan making four Yorkshire stops as part of his 60 Years in Music tour, before Squeeze arrive in Hull and Leeds in November with special guest Billy Bragg.
Gilbert O'Sullivan celebrates 60 years in music
Gilbert O'Sullivan will bring his 60 Years in Music tour to Yorkshire in September and October, with performances in York, Bradford, Doncaster and Harrogate.
The tour celebrates a career spanning six decades and will take O'Sullivan to theatres and concert halls across the UK.
Yorkshire dates include:
22 September – York Opera House, York
27 September – St George’s Hall, Bradford
1 October – Cast, Doncaster
30 October – Harrogate Theatre, Harrogate
The wider tour begins with two nights at The Stables in Milton Keynes on 8 and 9 September and concludes at the London Palladium on 8 November.
Squeeze bring Tried, Tested & Trixies Tour to Hull and Leeds
Squeeze will also be heading to Yorkshire later in the year as part of their Tried, Tested & Trixies Tour.
The band will play Connexin Live in Hull on Thursday 19 November before travelling to Leeds for a performance at the First Direct Bank Arena on Friday 20 November.
Singer-songwriter and activist Billy Bragg will join Squeeze as special guest throughout the tour.
The Yorkshire dates are:
19 November – Connexin Live, Hull
20 November – First Direct Bank Arena, Leeds
The tour begins at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on 12 November and includes shows in Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Cardiff and Birmingham before concluding in Brighton on 5 December.
The concerts will also support the wider live music community, with £1 from every Squeeze tour ticket going towards grassroots music venues, artists and promoters. Collections will also take place in support of anti-poverty charity Trussell.
With Gilbert O'Sullivan visiting four Yorkshire towns and cities and Squeeze bringing two arena dates to the region, autumn 2026 is shaping up to be a busy period for fans of some of Britain's best-known songwriters and performers.
