Yard Act have confirmed a Blackpool Tower warm-up show ahead of their summer festivals

Yard Act have announced a one-off intimate warm-up show at Blackpool Tower this May, ahead of their summer festival schedule.

The Leeds band will perform at the historic venue before embarking on a series of festival appearances, including Live At Leeds, Isle of Wight Festival, and Green Man. They are also set to headline Queens Park Arena in Glasgow as part of the Big Nights Out series.

“So, yeah… it must’ve been 2025… and we um… we didn’t often go to Blackpool to play gigs… usually we just went once to support Foals at the – at the – Empress Ballroom… But for some reason this year we’d booked a warm-up gig at Blackpool Tower um…” says vocalist James Smith.

Tickets for both the Blackpool and Glasgow shows will be available via presale on 26th March at 10:00am GMT, with general sale beginning 29th March at 10:00am GMT.
