Manchester-formed alternative rock/post-punk legends Chameleons will play their final festival date of the summer on 23rd August with a mainstage set at the Beautiful Days festival at Escot Park in Devon. It will be followed a day later by their latest BBC 6 Music session, to be broadcast live on the Riley & Coe show from 9pm.
The group commence an extensive autumn European tour in mid-October as they continue to promote their widely acclaimed 2025 album ‘Arctic Moon’. Starting with five UK dates that feature special guest Lol Tolhurst (playing The Songs of The Cure), it then includes shows in France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Chameleons return to the UK in early December to host their annual homecoming event, ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is 2026’, over the weekend of 4th-5th December at New Century Hall in Manchester. The first night is a full electric performance with B-Movie and Kahula as support acts, with the second being a unique orchestral collaboration featuring live strings by the Manchester Camerata and special guests Patrick Fitzgerald and Evi Vine.
They end the year with a return visit to London for a show at the Roundhouse on 13th December as special guests of New Model Army.
Although signalling a departure from the sound of previous Chameleons albums, ‘Arctic Moon’ nevertheless remains rooted in the same emotional depth, spirit and intensity that has always defined their output. It features seven songs that include ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’, released as a single ahead of he album, plus longer compositions such as the slow-burning epic ‘David Bowie Takes My Hand’.
“While we’re proud of the band’s legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we’re known for,” bassist and singer Vox (Mark Burgess) has previously stated. “We think we managed to do that and deliver a very strong record!”
