Alanis Morissette has announced a special run of just six UK and Ireland dates for summer 2026, with outdoor shows in Cork, Exeter, Oxford, Glasgow, Lytham and London. The seven-time GRAMMY winner will be joined by Skunk Anansie at all dates, with Wet Leg also confirmed for the Glasgow show.
The new dates follow what has been hailed as Morissette’s most acclaimed UK run yet this year, including a sold-out night at London’s O2 Arena and a widely-praised, career-defining debut set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. Recent reviews have described her as a “90s singer [who] achieves a level of iconhood” (MOJO), with CLASH praising her “enormous” Glastonbury crowd and The Guardian calling it a “spectacular sundown set” that showcased her “undiminished vocal talent and life-affirming energy”.
The 2026 run begins at Cork’s Virgin Media Park on Wednesday 24 June, before heading to TK Maxx presents Live At Powderham in Exeter, Blenheim Palace in Oxford, Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival and finishing at London’s Crystal Palace Park. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 12 December via ticketmaster.co.uk.
For three decades, Morissette has been one of the most influential women in contemporary music, known for deeply expressive songwriting and emotionally charged live performances. Her breakthrough 1995 album ‘Jagged Little Pill’ was followed by nine more eclectic and acclaimed records, with hits like ‘Ironic’, ‘You Oughta Know’, ‘Hand In My Pocket’ and ‘Thank U’ remaining staples of her live sets and still sounding current to new generations of fans.
‘Jagged Little Pill’ later inspired a stage musical of the same name, which debuted on Broadway in 2019 and went on to be nominated for 15 Tony Awards, winning two at the 2021 ceremony. Beyond music, Morissette has also appeared on both the big and small screen, while continuing to tour globally with shows that lean heavily on her classic catalogue.
Alanis Morissette – UK & Ireland 2026 dates:

- 26 June – Exeter, TK Maxx presents Live at Powderham
- 28 June – Oxford, Blenheim Palace
- 30 June – Glasgow, Bellahouston Park

Her live draw remains huge: in 2021, a sold-out world tour celebrating 25 years of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ was the number one female-fronted tour of the year. More recently, her 35-date North American Triple Moon Tour sold more than half a million tickets, packing every venue to capacity and underlining her ongoing status as a major touring artist.
Support on all 2026 UK and Ireland dates comes from Skunk Anansie, the London-formed band who exploded in the mid-90s with a powerful blend of hard rock, punk and funk. Fronted by the charismatic Skin, they broke through with hits including ‘Weak’, ‘Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)’ and ‘Charity’, and after reuniting in 2009 have continued to tour and release new music, most recently the top 10 album ‘The Painful Truth’.
Glasgow gets an extra bonus as Isle of Wight rockers Wet Leg join the bill at Bellahouston Park. The band are currently riding high after securing their second UK Number One album with ‘Moisturizer’, released in July to widespread critical acclaim and marking their first record as a quintet, with long-time touring members Henry Holmes, Josh Mobaraki and Ellis Durand officially joining co-founders Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers. It follows their GRAMMY-winning 2022 self-titled debut and captures the feral, electrifying energy that has turned them into one of the most talked-about live acts around.
