He’s never going to give you up…or let you down!
And Rick Astley is going on tour and he’s coming to Ireland with two huge gigs.
He announced his UK and Ireland tour for 2026 this week to the delight of fans.
Kicking things off at Glasgow OVO Hydro on 10th April, Rick will perform twelve dates culminating with a huge headline show at London’s The O2 on 25th April.
Rick will also be joined by very special guest Gabrielle. Rick comes to Dublin’s 3Arena on April 14th, 2026, and Belfast’s SSE Arena on April 13th.
Way back in 1987, he became an unlikely global phenomenon as his era-defining smash ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ established him as an international chart-topping, BRIT Award winning global star – a status heightened by further hits such as ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’ and ‘Together Forever’.
His debut album, ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’, sold 15.2m copies worldwide and made him a household name. But then he stepped away from the spotlight, seemingly leaving that chapter of his life firmly in the past.
Rick’s second chapter then started when he celebrated his half-century by returning to the top of the charts with 2016’s ‘50’.
Tickets go on general sale at 9:30am on Friday 5th September!
