dEUS Announces 30th Anniversary Tour for Classic Albums Across UK and Europe

Celebrate 30 years of dEUS with a UK and European tour featuring their iconic albums Worst Case Scenario and In A Bar, Under The Sea.

When a band as experimental and influential as dEUS decides to revisit their early classics on tour, fans know something special is coming. If you, like me, have long cherished the kaleidoscopic blend of rock, folk, and jazz that this Belgian gem has perfected, then 2026 is shaping up to be a nostalgic dream come true. Mark your calendars because dEUS is hitting the road to celebrate the 30th anniversaries of their breakthrough albums Worst Case Scenario and In A Bar, Under The Sea — and they're bringing plenty of magic from those records with them.

Reliving the Classics with a Twist: What to Expect on Tour

It's not often a band tours with two landmark albums in tow, especially ones as seminal as these. But dEUS will do just that on their 19-date journey across Europe beginning in Spring 2026. However, the band isn’t promising to play either album strictly front to back each night — think of it more as a musical celebration weaving the best of both worlds together.

The tour kicks off in Lille, France, on March 12, then moves through several major European cities including Paris, Brussels, and Berlin. For UK fans, there’s a single but special date: London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on March 17. The grand finale wraps up in Oslo on April 11.

Tickets are already available for anyone eager to witness this celebration of dEUS’s early magic.

The Early dEUS Sound: A Unique Blend That Still Resonates

Diving into the early ’90s, dEUS offered something refreshingly elusive. Their sound didn’t fit neatly into any one genre, instead creating a kaleidoscopic mix of rock meshed with the whimsy of folk and the improvisational spirit of jazz. This blend made them a standout in Belgium’s music scene—and a band with a fiercely loyal international fanbase.

What’s remarkable is how prolific they've remained over the years, outpacing many of their contemporaries from their homeland. Even during their brief hiatus in the early 2000s, the passion never dimmed, culminating in their 2023 release How To Replace It, their first album in a full decade, marking a vibrant return.

Looking Back at Recent Milestones

Before this exciting 30th-anniversary tour, the band marked another key moment in 2019 with a celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Ideal Crash, one of their more cult-favorite albums. That tour was a reminder of the band’s enduring presence and the timeless quality of their work.

Now, with the focus swinging back to the early days, fans old and new get the chance to immerse themselves in what first made dEUS a trailblazer.

They will celebrate their early years on the 19-date tour across the continent, though they will ‘not necessarily’ be playing the two albums front to back.

Whether you stumbled upon dEUS in the ’90s or discovered them through their recent work, this upcoming tour promises to be a heartfelt journey through some of the most creative and boundary-pushing music in alternative rock.
