Merry Christmas 

We made it: another year around the sun. And here at Front of the Queue we would like to thank you for sticking with us for another 52 editions of our humble newsletter.

Fear not, we won't take up too much of your time with wit, whimsy and articles from our many websites - instead, we'll leave you with the three of the biggest artists hitting the UK in 2026, with links to buy tickets - just in case you get a dose of that Christmas Day fever and you want to do some spending. 

Until next time, 

Callum Crumlish - Editor of Front of the Queue

Take That

Take That have a huge amount of arena and stadium shows ready for 2026, reinventing The Circus in the process. Get tickets below. 

Ariana Grande

The Eternal Sunshine tour is set to take the world by storm in 2026. And, after the popularity of Wicked and Wicked: For Good, these could be Ariana Grande's most sought-after tour dates yet. Thankfully, tickets are still available below. 

My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance are my favourite band of all time, so it would be flat out wrong for me to leave them off this list. They're playing Wembley Stadium three times this year, and we have where you can buy tickets below.
