Genre-bending live sensations Rainbow Kitten Surprise today announce their 2026 bones headline UK + IE tour. Fans who pre-order their forthcoming album, bones before 19th August via the band’s store, will be able to access a special pre-sale also via the store. This will go live at 10am on 20th August, with general tickets going on sale on 22nd August, also at 10am. The tour kicks off at O2 Academy in Leeds on 20th May, and will then see Rainbow Kitten Surprise hit cities including Nottingham, Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester, before wrapping things up at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 9th June.

The four-piece release their new album, bones on 26th September. Quintessentially Rainbow Kitten Surprise while still raising the bar, bones journeys through love, loss, and perseverance across its 10 captivating tracks. Pre-order/pre-save bones HERE.

With frontwoman Ela Melo’s most vulnerable songwriting to date and euphoric production by Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Orville Peck, Lainey Wilson), who worked with the band on 2018’s How to: Friend, Love Freefall, bones speaks to the band’s DNA while drawing from wisdom gained from over 13 years of making music together.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise gave fans a taste of the album last month with new single Dang, along with a cinematic video inspired by Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

The new album follows last year’s LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX, which was released to widespread critical acclaim from Consequence, Paste, SPIN, Billboard, and more. The record was also the band’s first album in 6 years, following How to: Friend, Love, Freefall, which has seen massive growth over the last few months, with hit track It’s Called: Freefall even being played in the latest season of Ginny & Georgia and reaching #1 on the Billboard TV Songs Chart.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise have plenty more in store…stay tuned!
