POSTED BY :Liberty Dunworth

Westside Cowboy have revealed plans for a series of UK concerts in 2027, including the largest headline venues of their career so far.

The announcement follows the Manchester four piece’s release of their eagerly awaited debut album, ‘It Goes On’, through Island Records last month. The acclaimed record later climbed to Number Five on the Official UK Albums Chart.

After appearing at Green Man, Tramlines, Latitude, TRUCK and Reading & Leeds throughout the summer, the group have now confirmed three major headline performances for next year.

The run begins at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on March 23. Westside Cowboy will then return home for a concert at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse on March 24, followed by a final night at London’s O2 Brixton Academy on March 25.

 

 

 

The dates will take place after the band complete their previously confirmed 2026 tour, which includes visits to Brighton’s Chalk, London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, Manchester’s Albert Hall and several other venues during October, November and December.

General ticket sales for the 2027 concerts begin at 10am BST on Thursday, September 10. Presale access opens tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8.

‘It Goes On’ received a four star review from NME, which described the album as “mirror[ing] a band making sense of their sound, allowing it to breathe in real time, instead of pursuing some flawed perfection.”

The review added: “In a world of optimisation freaks and pressure to have yourself figured out, this down-to-earth debut is everything it needs to be.”

The former NME Cover artists later spoke with NME during Reading & Leeds about the fast pace of their recent rise. That period included opening for Geese during their March tour, which featured a performance at London’s famous Hammersmith Apollo.

 

“I don’t know if we intended to go this far, but we’re here and we’re liking it,” singer and guitarist Jimmy Bradbury shared.

“There are so many different stages to putting an album together: finding which songs, recording the songs, mixing them, getting your masters back and it’s like, ‘We’ve done it!’ Then you get the cover back and it’s like, ‘We’ve done it again!’ By the time it comes to releasing it, you feel like you’ve done it already five times. It’s a moment of it finally just clicking together and it’s really exciting.”
