Erasure are bringing their 2027 arena tour to the Brighton Centre on Tuesday 11 May, with doors opening at 6.30pm. It sits near the end of a UK run that opens at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on 25 April and closes at The O2 in London the following day, with stops in Bournemouth, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Hull, Leeds and Glasgow in between. The tour then heads to Germany, Denmark and Sweden, finishing on 28 May at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm.

There is a catch to the line-up that is worth knowing before you book. Vince Clarke is acting as musical director for the tour but will not be on stage, citing the travel distance after moving from New York to San Diego in California. Andy Bell will front the live performances alone. Ladytron, the Liverpool electronic trio formed in 1999, are supporting across the UK and Ireland dates.
The tour is built around new material. Erasure's twentieth studio album, Radio!! Radio!!, comes out on 12 March 2027, their first in six years, and the lead single Wings Of Love has already premiered on BBC Radio 2. The record is said to cover love, loss, injustice and the strength of a creative partnership that has run for forty years. Bell has also been busy on his own, with the solo album Ten Crowns published in 2025, following Electric Blue, Non-Stop and iPop.
For a duo that has sold over 25 million albums and picked up the Brit Award for Best British Group in 1989, the anniversary timing is not lost. 2026 marks forty years since their debut album Wonderland, so the 2027 tour arrives as a natural next chapter rather than a one-off. Bell and Clarke formed in 1985, with Bell on vocals and composing and Clarke producing and on keyboards, and they have been working together ever since.
On tickets, general sale opened at 10am on Friday 2 October, so the Brighton date should be live to grab now. Prices vary by venue and seating category, with examples across the tour at £55, £65 and £75 plus fees, and there is a limit of eight tickets per person. Age restrictions differ from show to show, with some venues restricting the standing area to 14 and over, so it is worth checking the Brighton Centre's specific rules before you commit.
As for the support, Ladytron are well-known in their own right. Formed in Liverpool in 1999, the current line-up is Helen Marnie, Mira Aroyo and Daniel Hunt, and their latest album Paradises came out on 20 March 2026. Between a new album, a forty-year anniversary and a full arena tour, the 2027 show is shaping up as one of the bigger dates on the Brighton Centre's calendar. If you have been following Erasure since Wonderland, it is a logical one to have on the radar.
