Gabrielle has announced an 18-date UK tour for spring 2027. Titled ‘The Hits Tour’, the run kicks off in Ipswich on 25 March and wraps up at Manchester’s AO Arena on 24 April, taking in venues from Glasgow to Cardiff along the way. Tickets go on sale via artist presale on 15 April, with general sale following on 17 April.
The announcement marks the latest milestone in a career spanning more than three decades. Gabrielle has shaped British pop and soul with a string of timeless hits including Rise, Dreams, Out of Reach, Sunshine, When a Woman, and Give Me a Little More Time, and remains one of the UK’s most enduring live performers.
Her landmark 1999 album Rise achieved 4x Platinum status, while her celebrated compilation Dreams Can Come True: Greatest Hits matched that success. Across her career, she has landed six Top 10 albums, including 2018’s Under My Skin, and returned in 2024 with A Place In Your Heart, an acclaimed release that reaffirmed her status as one of the UK’s most respected singer-songwriters.
A multiple award-winner, Gabrielle’s accolades include two BRIT Awards, two MOBO Awards, and an Ivor Novello Award, recognising both her commercial success and her craft as a songwriter. She introduced herself to a new generation of fans through her standout appearances on The Masked Singer UK in 2021, and followed that with a role in Stormzy’s 2022 cultural moment Mel Made Me Do It.
Her live career has gone from strength to strength. She has shared stages with global icons, joining Adele as a special guest at BST Hyde Park, and has toured alongside legends including Lionel Richie (where she performed at Lytham Festival 2023), Simply Red, and Tom Jones. In 2025, she embarked on what was described as her biggest UK tour to date, with major arena shows at Manchester’s AO Arena and London’s The O2, plus a headline slot at Victorious Festival.
2026 is shaping up to be another busy year before the 2027 tour arrives. Gabrielle is currently set to tour UK arenas with Rick Astley, play outdoor venues in Ireland alongside Michael Bublé, and headline a string of summer festivals including Boogietown, Love Supreme, Tramlines, and Kendal Calling.
