Barbara announces 2026 tour with Nick Holland, with thirteen new dates confirmed.
Barbara is set to undertake a series of live dates across the UK next year accompanied by Nick Holland on keyboards and vocals.
The tour will commence on March 25th, 2026 with dates confirmed through to the end of June, with venues including Fleetwood, Barrow, Chelmsford, Deal, Faversham, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Barnard Castle, Settle, Kendal, Basingstoke, Wimborne, Honiton and Neath.
Some venues are on sale already with the others due to go on sale later today, with the exception of the Cornerstone Theatre in Sutton which is due to go on sale later next week.
All dates are now available here on Barbara's tour page.
"I've really loved being able to play these semi-acoustic dates with Nick, which has been my main focus since I gave up my big band tours a couple of years ago," Barbara says.
We're able to use this line-up to our advantage, exploring songs we didn’t necessarily play with the band which was often more 'epic' in nature. We are now just two musicians on stage, with myself on the guitar or piano, and Nick on keyboards and backing vocals, but it creates some wonderful colours and textures.
The music really benefits from it as it now has a real intimacy. We play smaller venues and it's almost like going back to my folk club days in that I do quite a lot of talking, so people learn about the songs, and the audience really seem to enjoy that intimate atmosphere.
We're having a great time and I'm very much looking forward to playing some new venues as well as some old favourites which we haven't visted for some time!"
