A Summer Night to Remember: Super Furry Animals at Alexandra Palace

If you’ve been craving the return of one of Wales’s most iconic bands, Super Furry Animals have just dropped an exciting announcement that'll have you buzzing. They’re adding a lush outdoor date to their already impressive 2026 UK and Ireland tour—a headline show at London’s famed Alexandra Palace Park. Mark your calendars for July 12, 2026, because this is set to be a legendary evening, especially with The Beta Band joining as very special guests.

The ‘Supracabra 2026 Tour’: A Triumphant Return

This outdoor gig is the latest addition to their ‘Supracabra 2026 Tour,’ which originally dropped back in September. For fans like me, who’ve been waiting since their last live performances in 2016, this tour is a massive deal. Almost every date in the run sold out quick, which isn’t surprising given their legendary status and enduring appeal.

The tour kicks off in Dublin on May 6, 2026, before the band moves through Glasgow and Llandudno, playing two nights in both cities. Then, it’s on to bigger arenas: two nights at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena, two nights at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, followed by Bristol Sounds and a set at the picturesque Llangollen Pavilion.

Now, with the Alexandra Palace date locking in as a summer highlight, fans have even more reason to get their tickets early.

The Beta Band Joins the Lineup

I remember the electrifying buzz when The Beta Band reunited and played their first gig in 21 years in Glasgow—it was a moment for the ages. Their inclusion as special guests for the Alexandra Palace show adds another layer of excitement. This pairing promises a night bursting with nostalgia and fresh sonic explorations.

Tickets for this outdoor spectacle go on general sale Friday, December 5 at 9am, with early access presale starting December 3. If you’re eager to snag your spot early, you can sign up for the presale online.

For all other remaining dates, tickets remain available through official vendors.

Celebrating ‘Love Kraft’: A 20th Anniversary Reissue

Adding to the excitement this year, October saw Super Furry Animals reissue their seventh studio album, Love Kraft, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Released on Cardiff’s independent label Strangetown Records, the remastered edition is available on double vinyl, 2CD, and digital formats.

This special reissue includes the original 12 tracks, now remastered with fresh clarity, alongside rarities like the previously lost track “Rock N Roll Flu,” featuring lead vocals from drummer Daf Ieuan. For vinyl collectors and digital devotees alike, it's an essential piece of the Super Furry puzzle.

The Band’s Reflections and Tour History

Fans may recall the band recently opening up about turning down some major gigs over the years—including supporting Oasis, U2, and even skipping a Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage slot. These decisions, while surprising, speak to the Furries’ desire to carefully curate their live appearances—a philosophy that has only deepened their mystique.

One memorable moment from their past was their wild appearance on Late Night With David Letterman, where they reportedly “got into a row” with Bruce Springsteen’s drummer and Letterman’s bandleader, Max Weinberg. Those kinds of stories remind us that the Super Furry Animals have always been a band marching to the beat of their own drum—sometimes literally!

Why This Show Is a Can’t-Miss

If you’ve followed Super Furry Animals through their genre-bending career, you know their live shows are immersive, energetic, and packed with surprises. An outdoor venue like Alexandra Palace Park only adds to the allure—a perfect backdrop for a summer night of music that promises both nostalgia and new memories.

Plus, the chance to catch The Beta Band alongside them? It's like a dream lineup for anyone who loves adventurous, boundary-pushing music from the UK’s indie scene.
