Never ones to hit the brakes, The Sheepdogs have just unveiled a trio of additional UK dates ahead of their headline set at Red Rooster Festival this May. Hot off a whirlwind 2024—packed with two EP releases, a Christmas song, and a sold-out tour on either side of the Atlantic—the Canadian rock revivalists are keeping their momentum at full throttle.
Before taking the stage in Suffolk, the band will bring their signature brand of southern tinged feel-good rock to Birmingham, Brighton, and Cardiff.
May 27, 2025 – Birmingham – Castle and Falcon
May 28, 2025 – Brighton – Concorde 2
May 29, 2025 – Cardiff – The Globe
May 30, 2025 – Red Rooster Festival
Following a landmark year that saw them reclaim their catalog from Warner and launch their own label Right On Records, The Sheepdogs doubled down on their independent spirit with ‘Paradise Alone‘ and ‘Hell Together‘—two critically celebrated EPs that fueled a 65-date tour spanning North America, Europe, and the UK, including a five show run in Quebec with Bryan Adams.
With their sights set on keeping the music coming, rumors swirl of more new material, but for now, this will be the band’s only UK visit in 2025—making these shows a must for fans who want to catch them in action.
“We love coming to the UK, and we know not all of our fans live in London, Manchester, or Glasgow,” says bassist Ryan Gullen. “So, we wanted to add a few more stops in places we haven’t hit in a while.”
Reflecting on a recent visit to Wales, Gullen recalls: “We played a holiday park in Wales last December for Planet Rock, and most of the audience had traveled from all over the UK. We ended up at a pub afterward, drinking pints with some locals, and figured it was about time we gave Wales a proper show again.”
As for frontman Ewan Currie, his take on another UK run is simple:
“We love rockin’ in the UK—and we just can’t stay away.”

Last year the beloved Canadian rockers released two new EPs, ‘Hell Together‘ and ‘Paradise Alone‘ on their own label, Right On Records. Marking twenty years of classic, no-frills rock, their two EPs were a celebration of a career forged on their own terms. After parting ways with Warner Music Canada in 2022, The Sheepdogs have since been able to buy back a large portion of their award-winning catalogue and will distribute the music along with future releases via Right On Records, through The Orchard worldwide. This newfound freedom has empowered the band to make a major shift in how, and how often, they release music.
“We want to keep the music flowing constantly. In a world flooded with content, there’s no better way to stay connected with our fans than by recording and releasing music regularly,” says bassist Ryan Gullen. “With Right On Records, our vision was always to step up the pace—to get our music out there faster and more freely. We have so much more to share, and this gives us the freedom to release it in new and exciting ways.”
