2024 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for gigs in the UK. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, Liam Gallagher celebrating 30 years of ‘Definitely Maybe’, and now rock ‘n’ roll podcast stars Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell are joining those ranks – The Rest is Politics is coming to a city near you.
The duo, who both have experience being at the centre of government, have amassed a vast listener base and are consistently in the top ten most listened to podcasts in the UK. They discuss current issues from ‘across the divide’, Stewart being a former Tory cabinet minster and Campbell having been a strategist for Blair’s government.
Whether you’re left or right wing, or just interested in the inner workings of Westminster, the duo can certainly be insightful. Here’s everything you need to know about the podcast’s live shows in the UK, from dates to ticket prices and availability.
