Culture Club have announced a major UK arena tour for winter 2026 — but Irish fans have been left disappointed after no Ireland dates were included.
The iconic ’80s band, fronted by Boy George, will hit the road this December for The Singles Tour, a run of arena shows celebrating the group’s biggest hits including Karma Chameleon, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me and Time (Clock Of The Heart).
The tour kicks off at the Bournemouth International Centre on December 7 before heading to Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Birmingham and London, where the run will wrap up with a show at The O2 on December 19.
Despite several major UK dates — including a stop in nearby Glasgow — no concerts in either Dublin or Belfast were announced.

Organisers described the shows as “a full celebration of their chart-topping legacy, bringing together the songs that defined their career for an unforgettable live show.”
Culture Club will be joined on tour by special guests ABC and Haircut 100.
Tickets go on general sale at 9:30am BST on Friday, May 29.
The announcement comes after Boy George recently revealed he has been using artificial intelligence to help with songwriting.
Speaking earlier this year, the singer said AI had “really helped me as a lyricist.”
“You don’t have to worry even for two seconds about what they think,” he explained. “I’m a top-line writer, so I write top-line melodies.”
