Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey gears up for a major 2026 UK and European arena tour with dates across top venues.

If you've been following Laufey’s enchanting rise, you’ll be thrilled to hear she’s bringing her mesmerizing sound to arenas across the UK and Europe in early 2026. After captivating hearts worldwide with her dreamy jazz-pop vibes and storytelling charm, this Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter is stepping into some of the biggest venues on the continent. Let’s unpack everything you need to know about this exciting tour!

A Dreamy Journey from Studio to Stage

Laufey, based in Los Angeles but hailing from an Icelandic-Chinese background, has been turning heads with her musical prowess as an artist, composer, and producer. She dropped her third studio album, A Matter Of Time, on August 22 via Vingoff Recordings/AWAL, continuing to push the boundaries of her signature sound.

Following an extensive North American tour later this year, Laufey is set to charm European crowds starting February 18, 2026, kicking off her run in Zurich’s Hallenstadion. The tour promises a rich experience, blending her delicate vocals with intimate, cinematic arrangements.

The Tour Route: From Zurich to Iceland

Her journey across Europe includes stops in Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Fans in the UK and Ireland will get their chance to see her live at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on March 4, Dublin’s 3Arena on March 6, and a grand London finale at the O2 Arena on March 8. The tour will then close with a special show at Iceland’s Korinn Arena on March 14, a meaningful homecoming for the artist.

Tickets go on general sale at 9 AM local time on September 12, with an artist presale available starting September 10.

"The way the album’s sequenced is it starts with this hope and a little bit of fear of love – it’s a first date. And then as the album progresses, it falls more and more into anxiety, and falls apart." – Laufey
