Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker has announced his return to the UK in September and October 2025 for a major arena tour. Kicking off in Belfast at The SSE Arena on 29th September, Rucker will visit Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester before culminating with a date at London’s The O2. He will be joined by very special guests Jake Owen and The Shires. The announcement comes following the release of Rucker’s most recent album, Carolyn’s Boy, and memoir ‘Life’s Too Short’ in which he tells his remarkable story through the lens of the songs that shaped him—from Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and KISS to Lou Reed, Billy Joel, Nanci Griffith, and so many more. Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide including their Double Diamond-certified (22x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View, which remains among the top 10 best-selling studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first Country album in 2008, Rucker has earned a whole new legion of fans with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart, including RIAA Platinum-certified Learn to Live and True Believers, plus 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits.
