Man/Woman/Chainsaw have announced a new tour, taking place across the UK and Europe in 2026.

It comes following the London-based six-piece signing to Fiction Records at the end of 2025, and dropping the beguiling single ‘Only Girl’ alongside Geordie Greep producer Seth Evans & Margo Broom.

Now, the band have announced plans for a UK and European tour, which will kick off in the spring.

Dates begin with a slot at L’Aeronef in Lile on April 15, before continuing with stops in Bourges, Paris and Rotterdam throughout the month.

From there, a slot at the Maifield Derby Shetland Pony Hobby Edition in Heidelberg is scheduled for May, before more festival slots in the summer – including Rock Werchter and Deer Shed – and a run of UK and Ireland headline shows in September.

After a stop at Misty Fields Festival in the Netherlands at the start of the month, the band will play in Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Glasgow on September 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 and 25 respectively.

They will wrap up the month with shows in Sheffield, Guildford and Brighton, before concluding the tour with more shows in October. These feature shows in Portsmouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Nottingham and Birmingham, and end with a night at the Electric Ballroom in London.

Man/Woman/Chainsaw were named one of NME‘s 100 Essential Emerging Artists to watch out for in 2025. The London-based band were praised for their “circus of orchestral grunge insanity”.

In a four-star review of ‘Eazy Peazy’, NME praised the band’s “fusion of grand strings and pianos with more traditional, riff-based rock chaos”.

It added: “‘Eazy Peazy’ practically fizzes with youthful energy and the possibilities of musical creation. It’s raw and throws everything in its sizeable arsenal at the wall, however, basically everything sticks. The resulting effort’s audacious energy is a sight to behold and whips with enough force to spin your head clean off your shoulders.”

More new music is expected from the London six-piece in 2026.
