Hootie & The Blowfish announce five UK shows for May 2027

Hootie & The Blowfish will return to the UK for their first tour there in eight years. The band’s October 30 announcement confirms five concerts in May 2027, with Spin Doctors appearing as special guests throughout. The run ends at London’s Royal Albert Hall. This is a future concert announcement rather than a new recording release.

The itinerary opens at O2 Academy Glasgow on May 10, followed by O2 Academy Bristol on May 12 and Manchester’s Albert Hall on May 13. O2 Academy Birmingham hosts the band on May 15 before the London finale on May 16. All five cities and venues appear in the official announcement, which says tickets are on sale.

Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber and Jim “Soni” Sonefeld make up Hootie & The Blowfish. The group has sold more than 25 million records worldwide. Its 1994 breakthrough Cracked Rear View includes Hold My Hand, Let Her Cry and Only Wanna Be With You. These British dates feature the band, distinct from Rucker’s solo career.
