Heathen Apostles 2026 Gothic Americana UK Tour
Heathen Apostles Announce Gothic Americana UK Tour for Summer 2026 – The Heathen Apostles are psyched to reveal the first tour poster for their fifth visit to the UK, and they are very much looking forward to getting back over there. The Los Angeles-based Gothic Americana outfit will be hitting the road across two separate runs — June/July and again in August — making 2026 one of their biggest UK campaigns yet.
Confirmed festival appearances include the Blackpool Boneyard Weekender, taking place July 3rd–5th at the Waterloo Music Bar in Blackpool, with the band playing Saturday the 4th. The festival, founded by Ratty Wilson of Alien Sex Fiend, is a beloved celebration of goth, rockabilly, industrial, and horror punk.
Then in August, the band returns to Rebellion Festival 2026, this time stepping up to the Opera House stage at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool — a notable upgrade from their appearance on the Almost Acoustic stage in 2025. Rebellion runs August 6th–9th, and specific performance dates and set times will be confirmed closer to the festival. Headliners include The Stranglers, Buzzcocks, Sham 69, Stiff Little Fingers and Cock Sparrer.
Both tour legs will also see the band out in support of a brand new release — details on that are dropping very soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
2024 Heathen Apostles Gothic Americana UK Tour
Today the announcements begin for the dates for the 2024 Heathen Apostles Gothic Americana UK tour; the band was asked back to many of the venues they played last year, as well as several new ones. We also have a very special festival announcement upcoming, so stay tuned! Here are the postings as they were made, along with the tour poster:
Our first show of the 2024 Heathen Apostles UK tour is on Wednesday, 17 July at the Facebar in Reading, we played there last year and as you can tell by the moody photos (by Andrew Merrit) it was quite a dark and mysterious night. This is a great night to start the tour, let us know who is going! HERE is the ticket link, (we’ve been told they are moving rather briskly already).
It is our pleasure to announce we will be returning to London at The Lexington on Thursday, 18 July. Also appearing is @messagefromtheravens, this is going to be quite a night, see you there!
From a review of last year’s Lexington show: “As if plucked from a surreal spaghetti western, Mather Louth and Chopper Franklin made quite the spectacle, striding down London’s Pentonville Road in full regalia… The Heathen Apostles had etched themselves into our dark hearts, ensuring their spectral melodies and mystical storytelling would stay with us long after the last note had faded into the night.”
Ticket link HERE.
On 21 July we’ll be back in Brighton, but this time around we’ll be appearing at the Hope & Ruin, a grassroots music venue and pub that strives to support the independent live music scene in Brighton. All of their bar products are plant based to compliment the offerings from Beelzebab who provide fast food from a caravan in the corner of the pub.
We are very happy to announce our return on 24 July to Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. It is a top notch venue and we were well taken care of last time by Ken Brown and Square Roots Promotions. The event sold out last year so grab your tickets while you can HERE.
