About

In addition to releasing his new album, Michael will be hitting the road in 2026 with his Glow UK headline tour and visiting the Princess Theatre, Torquay on Monday 28 September 2026

Speaking on the news, Michael Ball said: “There’s probably only one thing I enjoy more than being in the studio — writing, producing, and singing songs with people I love — and that’s taking it all out on the road and performing those songs as well as all the old favourites to the audiences I love. I hope you enjoy the new album, and I hope you come to see us on tour next year. It’s going to be an exciting year, and I can’t wait to see you all’’
