Jack Kays And His Band have announced a return to the UK for six headline dates in April 2027, part of a major world tour. The run visits Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Bristol before closing at London’s Scala. Tickets are on sale now via jackkays.com/tour, with Manchester and London also available through a separate ticket link.
The dates land as Kays releases his sophomore LP, CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, which is out now. The record features the singles “To Be American”, “Mirror” and “I’ve Got A Gun”. Recent releases have come through Jack’s Jams, distributed by Stem, following earlier work through Columbia Records.
The UK shows sit late in the routing. Jack Kays And His Band tour Australia, New Zealand and North America before hitting Europe this spring. An Australian headline leg in January 2027 takes in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, with a New Zealand date in Auckland, before the band reach the UK in April.
Cincinnati native Jack Kays is known for raw, emotive vocals and introspective songwriting. He started on drums at three and has since become a multi-instrumentalist whose music mixes punk, folk, alternative and hip hop.
Since he began releasing music in 2020, Jack Kays And His Band have built an international live following, playing to sold out crowds across North America, Europe and Australia. Festival appearances include Warped Tour, BottleRock and Riot Fest. He most recently supported Pierce The Veil on their Australian arena tour, the I Can’t Hear You World Tour, alongside Movements.
UK fans have seen him before, including a May 2025 visit that took in The Garage in Glasgow and The Underworld in London. The 2027 run is billed as a headline return rather than a support slot.
This year he will also host the third annual Jack’s Jams, his hometown Cincinnati show, with support from Worry Club, Kenny Hoopla and Pretty Bitter.
