Legendary UK new wave group Squeeze are heading back on the road in 2026 with a major North American tour featuring special guests Adam Ant and Haircut 100.
The newly announced “Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour” will include 29 dates across the United States and Canada, bringing the band to major theaters, amphitheaters, and iconic venues throughout late summer and early fall.
Tour Will Visit Major US and Canadian Markets
The tour officially launches on August 16 at the famous Ryman Auditorium before making stops in:
Boston
New York City
Toronto
Denver
San Francisco
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Detroit
The final show of the run is currently scheduled for September 27 at Detroit’s Masonic Temple.
One of the biggest concerts on the schedule is the September 19 performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, which will also feature The English Beat.
Haircut 100 remain best known for their 1980s hit Love Plus One, while Adam Ant continues to be one of the most recognizable figures from the British new wave era.
Ticket Information
Tickets for the full tour are available through Ticketmaster.
Fans are expected to closely watch dates in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Toronto due to venue demand and the strong legacy audience connected to all three touring acts.
Tour Supports New Album “Trixies”
The 2026 run arrives in support of Squeeze’s latest album Trixies, released earlier this year.
The project carries special meaning for longtime members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook because many of the album’s ideas originally began when the pair were still teenagers.
Inspired by classic concept albums and theatrical rock records, Trixies tells interconnected stories centered around a fictional nightclub setting. While the original concept proved too ambitious during the band’s early years, the duo eventually revisited and completed the project decades later.
Remembering Gilson Lavis
The upcoming tour also follows the passing of former Squeeze drummer Gilson Lavis, who died in November. Lavis played a major role in many of the band’s best-known recordings during the late 1970s through early 1990s.
