Just a week or so before the band head off to perform at this year’s Glastonbury, legendary Glasgow rockers Franz Ferdinand have announced details of a massive tour. Following shows in Europe, Australia and Asia later this year, the band have revealed a dozen dates in British cities.
The makers of ‘Take Me Out’, ‘This Fffire’ and plenty of other pop rock bangers will take to the stage across the UK on a tour named the ‘Greater Glasgow European Cultural Exchange 2026’. The tour marks the release of the band’s seventh album The Human Fear, which came out earlier this year.
