Rick Astley – The Reflections Tour 2026
Multimillion selling global star Rick Astley has announced a major UK and Ireland arena tour for April 2026, with special guest, Gabrielle! Coming to first direct bank arena, Leeds on Saturday 18th April, 2026!
Rick Astley’s story is a remarkable career of two chapters. 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’.
Rick’s second chapter then started when he celebrated his half-century by returning to the top of the charts with 2016’s ‘50’. The somehow still boyish singer, songwriter and producer has stayed at the top of his game ever since, leading to collaborations with everyone from Foo Fighters to Blossoms, a double bill of festival sets at Glastonbury, and a #2 chart position for his new album ‘Are We There Yet?’.
Come and celebrate the chapters of Rick Astley’s career with him, right here at first direct bank arena Leeds! You do no want to miss out!
