Acoustic tour show by Nick Heyward, frontman of Haircut 100, in which he plays his songs across a dozen historic churches and cathedrals.
Nick Heyward is playing Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 14 November, the opening date of his UK tour The 12 Dates of Christmas. It's a run of a dozen shows across historic churches and cathedrals through November and December, and Lincoln gets the first one.
Heyward is the frontman of Haircut 100, and for this tour he's taking his songs back to a stripped-back, acoustic essence. He'll be joined on stage by guitarist Adam Phillips, who has worked with Tom Robinson, Hamish Stewart and Richard Ashcroft. The set will draw from his catalogue, mixed in with a festive feel, and it's his first full UK tour since an intimate acoustic run in Scotland last year, which followed a sell-out band tour in 2024.
There's also new material in the mix. Heyward has been working on a follow-up to Pelican West, titled Boxing The Compass, which came out on 19 June 2026. So the set will pull from his earlier records as well as this latest one, played in an acoustic setting rather than with a full band.
