Ray LaMontagne will bring his 2026 tour to Manchester’s O2 Apollo. The Manchester gig is one of 11 UK and Ireland dates he has confirmed.
This new tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of Trouble, LaMontagne’s debut album, released in 2004. The Grammy Award winner will perform the album in full at each show, marking two decades since its original release.
The 2026 tour is LaMontagne’s first UK visit since 2018. It begins in Sheffield and finishes at London’s Royal Albert Hall. To accompany the shows, a remastered vinyl edition of Trouble will be released on 13 June 2026.
Announcing the tour on social media, LaMontagne wrote, “Twenty years. Two decades. That’s a lot of water under the bridge. Every cell in my body has changed three times over in that time. I have been three times reborn. There are moments in life when you need to place a marker. Some say it’s brave never to look back—but I disagree. If you never look back, you’ll never see how far you’ve come. This year, I place a signpost: twenty years of Trouble.”
