Squeeze set for Swansea Arena date on 2026 UK tour – with Billy Bragg joining the bill
The band, founded in 1973 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, will play the Swansea Building Society Arena on Monday 30 November 2026 as part of their 16‑date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour.
The show comes hot on the heels of their new album Trixies, due out in March 2026, and promises a set packed with classics like Up The Junction, Tempted, Cool For Cats and Labelled With Love.
Arena debut for Squeeze
The Swansea date marks one of several arena debuts for the band, who will also headline London’s O2 Arena for the first time. Tilbrook said:
“The reaction to the 50th anniversary tour in 2024 was amazing. We have never sounded better and it feels really special to be looking forward to playing the biggest headline shows of our career. And having Billy Bragg on the same bill, what’s not to love!”
Difford added:
“It’s going to be amazing to show off songs from our album Trixies and, of course, all the hits and some surprises. I’m also excited that Billy Bragg will be joining us for all the shows.”
Supporting grassroots and tackling poverty
As with previous tours, Squeeze will use their shows to support good causes. Fans attending Swansea Arena are invited to bring food donations for the Trussell Trust, which runs food banks across the UK. Collection points and buckets will be available inside the venue.
In addition, £1 from every ticket sold will go to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters. Tilbrook has recently become a patron of the Music Venue Trust, saying:
“The grassroots is where it all starts for so many musicians and where local communities can access affordable and exciting live music. We need to protect these venues and nurture the artists so that our great culture can thrive for generations to come.”
Tickets and album release
- Tickets go on general sale Friday 28 November 2025 at 9.30am via bio.to/SQUEEZE.
- New album Trixies is released on 6 March 2026 via BMG.

Glenn Tilbrook - Happy Ending
The Difford/Tilbrook partnership, in Squeeze, always involved Difford sliding lyrics under Tilbrook's door, where he'd write the music, and more times than not: classic song.
Their solo output has been less successful, but still enjoyable. This is Tilbrook's last effort, from 2014, and all acoustic (which isn't to say only guitar). It can be a little twee sometimes, but overall it'd good stuff.
Happy 66th birthday to Glenn Martin Tilbrook , Born today 31st August 1957

Now I've decided I want to focus on learning the #guitar, I'm going to be linking to some of my guitar videos.
First of all I'm going to link to a video of my new guitar hero, #glenntilbrook of #Squeeze and who I've been watching on YouTube play the guitar ridiculously well. If I can come close to even a smidgeon of his superb guitar skills, I'll be one happy gal.
This is him playing some #JimiHendrix on acoustic guitar. https://youtu.be/bQBjdXBJ1Xk
Today I was listening to "Transatlantic Ping Pong" by Glenn Tilbrook (2004)
