The band will play the Bournemouth International Centre on Friday 4 December 2026, bringing their unmistakable mix of sharp songwriting and classic pop to the south coast.

New Album Trixies Out Now

The tour follows the release of their latest album Trixies, which landed on 6 March 2026 via BMG.

Packed with storytelling and character-driven songs, the record marks another chapter in a career that’s already produced some of the UK’s most recognisable tracks, including Up the Junction, Cool for Cats and Tempted.

A Career-Spanning Live Show

Fronted by founding members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze have built a reputation as one of Britain’s most consistent and beloved live acts.

With a full band lineup behind them, their shows blend classic hits with newer material, delivering the kind of set that appeals to long-time fans and newer listeners alike.
