Following from the extremely successful release of their brand-new studio album ‘Closer To The Sun‘ (review here), as well as their latest UK tour this past April, melodic rocking songsmiths Tyketto are thrilled to announce an additional short run of headline UK dates in November and December 2026, with Scarlet Rebels as special guest on selected dates.
Tickets will go on general sale on Friday 5th June 2026 at 9:00 AM BST and will be available here. VIP upgrade experiences will also be available for all dates and can be purchased here.
Frontman Danny Vaughn comments: “This year has already been one of the best years Tyketto has had in a long time and there’s still so much more to come! Our April UK tour went so well that we felt bold enough to push the boat out and add seven more shows at the end of the year.”
With the Closer To The Sun – UK Tour Part Two, Tyketto promise to bring their extraordinary show across seven cities throughout the UK to thank both fans and venues for the continued support over the years. These additional dates will start in Buckley, pass through Belfast for the first time in 12 years and will end in Nuneaton.
Danny Vaughn further explains: “These new dates include returning to some venues that have been staunch supporters of the band for many years, like: The Waterloo in Blackpool, Queens Hall in Nuneaton, The Empire in Belfast, The Tivoli in Buckley and the mighty Winterstorm festival. But we’re also excited to be playing some hallowed rooms that are brand new to us like The Picturedrome in Holmfirth and The Black Box in Hastings. We’ll be rocking songs from our new album, ‘Closer To The Sun’ as well as a bunch of Tyketto classics.”
This tour is not to be missed, and to quote Classic Rock: “their set is an impeccable ‘how to’ in timeless AOR and hard rock”.

Earlier this year, Tyketto released their sixth studio album ‘Closer To The Sun‘, via Silver Lining Music. Welcomed by critics and fans with enthusiasm and much anticipation, the record speaks to the listener about true life loves, losses and pleasures. From the title track’s triumphant, soaring appreciation of love’s power, to the punchy rawness built to make fists rise and hearts race of ‘Hit Me Where It Hurts‘, to the power balladry of ‘The Picture‘, Tyketto continue to confidently stride the same musical terrain as the likes of Whitesnake and Aerosmith, with the added bonus of being fresh to the ears of many.
Joined by Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums, Vaughn leads a lineup that brings exceptional performances and undeniable fire to every track, reaffirming Tyketto as one of rock’s most respected and enduring names. ‘Closer To The Sun‘ was recorded across multiple studios in the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales.
