Texas Celebrate 30 Years of “White on Blonde” With a 2027 Arena Tour

Thirty years is a long time for an album to stay in the conversation, and Texas are about to make sure White on Blonde gets its due. The Scottish band, fronted by Sharleen Spiteri, have announced a 2027 arena tour across the UK, Ireland and Europe to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 1997 record that remains a cornerstone of their catalogue.

For fans who grew up with the album, it is a chance to hear those songs filling arenas again. For the band, it is a fitting way to honour a release that has stayed with listeners for three decades.

A tour with familiar company

The anniversary run will take Texas through the UK, Ireland and Europe, playing the kind of arena stages that suit a celebration this size. On the UK and Ireland dates, they will have special guests along for the ride: Del Amitri, fellow Scottish favourites, will open on all of those shows. Pairing two acts with that much shared history makes for an easy fit, and it gives audiences on those nights a double bill worth turning up early for.

A new single and a reissue

The band are not treating this purely as a nostalgia exercise. Alongside the tour news, Texas have released a new single, “Another Way to Cry,” a previously unreleased track that gives longtime listeners something fresh to go with the old favourites. There is more for collectors, too: a 30th-anniversary reissue of White on Blonde is dated February 5, 2027, lining up the physical release with the wider celebration.

How to get tickets

If you are planning to go, the key dates to remember are the on-sale windows:

• Pre-sale tickets begin October 28, 2026
• General sale begins October 30, 2026

White on Blonde arrived in 1997 and helped define a particular era of British pop, and Texas have kept it close ever since. Bringing it back out for its 30th birthday, with Spiteri leading the way and Del Amitri alongside for the home dates, feels like the right kind of send-off for a record that clearly still means a lot.
