Blondie’s summer 2026 European dates
The 2026 listings on Songkick and Bandsintown show Blondie booked for multiple shows in Europe, including theater-scale venues in major cities. While detailed official tour branding is limited, the dates form a coherent summer run.
Fans find upcoming Blondie dates grouped in the European section on Songkick, which aggregates venue and promoter data for each show. Bandsintown mirrors these entries, confirming that the band have live commitments in 2026 rather than operating purely as a studio legacy act.
What this means for U.S. fans
For U.S. listeners, the European dates underline that Blondie remain an active touring entity, even if 2026 currently centers on overseas shows. Songkick and Bandsintown, which both list Blondie’s routing, do not yet show a dedicated U.S. leg attached to this run.
American fans who missed the band’s previous U.S. tours, such as the Pollinator-era shows earlier in the 2010s, will follow these European dates closely in the hope that additional North American concerts might be added.
