English singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin is officially set to return to the stage in 2026 with the English Rain UK and Ireland tour. The run has been designed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of her beloved debut album, English Rain, and her 15th year in music.

Gabrielle Aplin is expected to perform fan favourites from the album, alongside newer material from her recent releases. The announcement comes after a relatively busy year that has seen her release new music and collaborate with other artists. She has also hinted at a broader European leg to follow.

The upcoming tour will feature support from Lewis Watson on all dates. Alfie Hudson Taylor is joining the Ireland shows and the London finale.

Gabrielle Aplin took to her official Instagram page to announce the upcoming 2026 run, captioning:

"You asked and asked and asked and I promised to make it happen and it’s happening 😭 English Rain is being reissued on vinyl!! AND this time it will include my song from Skins, ‘Start Again’. AND I’m going on tour! ‘The English Rain 2026’ tour ☂️ This is the first of my celebrations for 15 years in music."

The post continued:

"Support from some of my all time favourites, Lewis Watson and Alfie Hudson Taylor (Ireland only) I am so lucky they’re joining me! And I hope you can join us too.
