2026 marks a decade since Scottish band Tide Lines first came together in a Glasgow bar and today they announce their most ambitious European and UK headline tour to date in celebration of their 10th anniversary.

Formed in 2016, Tide Lines released their debut single Far Side of the World that summer. Ten years on, the track has become their signature song with nearly 12 million streams, while the band themselves have gone on to achieve three consecutive Scottish number one albums — each breaking into the UK Top 15 — entirely independently. Their latest release, 2025’s Glasgow Love Story, landed them a UK No.11.

Reflecting on their journey, vocalist/guitarist Robert Robertson says: “We’ve always said if we were still doing this in 10 years’ time it would be mission accomplished. To reach this point still independent, still doing what we love, and still with the support of such amazing fans – it means everything to us.”

The 10th Anniversary Tour will see the band embark on an extensive run of European shows in April visiting Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark followed by a UK and Ireland tour in May. The celebrations will then culminate in a major birthday event in September 2026, with full details to be revealed soon. “If anyone’s enjoyed a Tide Lines show in the last 10 years, you’ll want to be there,” Robertson hints. “This is going to be the biggest of them all.”

From sold-out nights at Glasgow’s legendary Barrowlands (where they were inducted into the venue’s Hall of Fame in 2024) to festival main stages at The Reeling, Belladrum, HebCelt, and beyond, Tide Lines have become one of Scotland’s most loved bands, their anthemic indie-folk resonating far beyond the Highlands and Islands that shaped them.

Sunday 17th - Brudenell Presents... The Longest Johns
Doors: 19:30 - Price: £27.50 Adv. (stbf) Age Restriction: 14+ w./ adult, or 18+ without

Chart topping folk group The Longest Johns are known the world over for their rollicking harmonies and raucous energy that are blowing new wind into the sails of traditional sea shanties and work songs.

Formed in 2012 across a kitchen table in their native Bristol, they bonded over a passion for traditional maritime folk music, interwoven with a wry humour, a taste for all things digital. and a flair for their own songwriting – ancient meets modern down by the docks.

Constant gigging over land and sea, coupled with a rare command of social media and a string of quality releases saw them build a devoted fanbase at home and abroad. Their breakout moment came in 2021, when their rendition of ‘Wellerman’ went viral on TikTok, sparking the ‘Shanty Tok’ craze that became a global resurgence in sea shanty music and saw the band sign to Decca Records.

This year, they have released their tenth album to round up the Pieces of Eight project – an EP a month for eight months culminating in the 24-track compilation. In the next 12 months they’ll continue to take folk music back to its roots by many routes, playing more than 100 shows across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.

Their love of heritage and tradition runs deep – in 2024 they released the fan-funded album Voyage with its companion book of original short stories, artwork and lyrics. However, as digital natives and avid gamers, The Longest Johns were overjoyed to play at the opening of the 2025 Pokémon Europe International Championships where they debuted a new track, Face the World, written especially for the event.

With a strong digital presence boasting over 500,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners, they’ve also released a 20-track album of sea shanties digitally retooled in Chiptune, taken part in the annual Jingle Jam hosted by gaming stream The Yogscast, and share their own video games on YouTube and Twitch @LongestJohnsGaming.

The band have toured extensively across the UK, North America, and Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Their many highlights include selling out The Troubadour in LA (where Elton John began his conquest of the USA nearly 20 years before any of The Longest Johns was even born), performing at the late Queen's birthday party at the British Embassy in Paris, and playing festivals from Glastonbury to Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival.

The Longest Johns are Jonathan ‘JD’ Darley, Andy Yates and Robbie Sattin.
