The Molotovs 2026 Wasted On Youth UK tour: Ticket info, dates, venues, and more explored

London-based punk-rock siblings The Molotovs, made up of Matthew and Issey Cartlidge, have officially announced a 2026 headline tour across the UK. The run has been titled 'Wasted On Youth.'

The trek will celebrate their debut album of the same name. The record is officially slated to be released on January 30, 2026, via Marshall Records.

Before joining YUNGBLUD on his 2026 arena tour in April, The Molotovs will be hitting relatively smaller and independent venues across the UK in January and February. Frontman Matthew says,

"We want to make sure we are playing all of those vital independent stages that keep new talent coming through. We are doing this to stand with grassroots venues that help keep music alive, and formed an intrinsic part of the band's origins."

The Molotovs took to their official Instagram page to announce the upcoming 2026 UK run, captioning:

"WASTED ON YOUTH. UK tour & instore tour 2026. Ticket links in bio x"

The Molotovs' newest release, "Rhythm Of Yourself." The single is the band's third consecutive Top 3 entry on the UK physical singles chart. Mathew Cartlidge spoke about the track, saying:

"The song is about dancing to your own rhythm, whatever you are being told by those around you. Groove to the beat of your own drum. Don't let anyone get in the way of your vision. It's what we are all about as a band."
