Following four weeks on the road for their packed Spring 2026 Tour, Fairport Convention have announced an Autumn 2026 Tour, ahead of a very special Diamond Anniversary celebrating the band’s formation. This year’s Autumn Tour is particularly special for the band as it precedes a very busy 2027, marking 60 years in the business. In keeping with tradition, Fairport will visit more intimate locations on this tour, welcoming a different atmosphere than the Spring tour; one that feels more stripped-back and personal.
Kicking things off at The Brewhouse in Burton-on-Trent on 6th October, the tour will take in 24 dates across the UK, before concluding at The Regal in Tenbury Wells. This year’s lineup features Simon Nicol on guitar and vocals, Dave Pegg on bass guitar, Ric Sanders on violin, Chris Leslie on fiddle, mandolin and vocals.
From electrifying folk traditions to genre-defining albums, Fairport’s legacy continues to inspire generations. This celebratory concert promises a joyful reunion, timeless songs, and a tribute to the enduring spirit of British folk rock. You can hear the current lineup playing Travelling By Steam at this year’s Cropredy Festival below.
The Autumn tour dates are listed below, and tickets can be found here.
