Post-punk quartet Dry Cleaning has announced an extensive international tour spanning three continents to support their upcoming album, Secret Love. The highly anticipated tour, which represents the band’s largest headline shows to date, will take them across the UK, Europe, and North America throughout late 2025 and early 2026, coinciding with their third studio album scheduled for release on January 9, 2026.
London’s Dry Cleaning set to embark on their most ambitious global tour yet supporting third album Secret Love in 2025-2026.
The band will begin their journey with festival appearances in Europe, including Croatia’s Planet Dom Festival in Split on October 11, 2025, before starting a three-date Spanish run through Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona in late October. The tour then shifts to the UK, where Dry Cleaning will perform at several festivals including Mutations in Brighton on November 7 and Simple Things in Bristol the following day, with additional appearances at Rockaway Beach Festival in Bognor Regis just days before their album release.
Following Secret Love’s January debut, Dry Cleaning will perform at several notable UK venues, including Cardiff’s Tramshed on January 20 and Birmingham’s XOYO on January 21, before crossing the Atlantic for their North American leg. The stateside tour features significant venues such as Chicago’s Thalia Hall, Toronto’s Concert Hall, and Brooklyn Steel in New York, with YHWH Nailgun confirmed as support for select North American dates. The album was meticulously crafted with production by Cate Le Bon and recording sessions at Jeff Tweedy’s Chicago studio. The band will also headline the prestigious O2 Academy Brixton in London, marking one of their most significant performances of the tour.
Ticket sales for the entire tour begin on Friday, October 17, 2025, with North American fans gaining early access through presales starting Wednesday, October 15. Festival appearances will be handled through respective festival ticketing platforms, and fans are encouraged to monitor the band’s official channels for additional announcements. The group has scheduled comprehensive soundcheck sessions at each venue to ensure their intricate post-punk arrangements translate perfectly to different acoustic environments. Fans can also access the band’s latest music across all major streaming platforms, with exclusive behind-the-scenes content available on their Bandcamp page.
This ambitious touring schedule represents a strategic promotional effort for Dry Cleaning’s third album, following their critically acclaimed releases New Long Leg (2021) and Stumpwork (2022). By scheduling major headline performances after the album’s release while building anticipation through festival slots, the band has crafted a thorough international campaign to showcase their evolving post-punk sound to audiences worldwide.
