Alison Moyet takes Yazoo back on the road as demand sparks extra UK dates

Alison Moyet is taking a big step back into the music that first made her a synth-pop icon. This autumn, she will tour the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe with a set built around songs from Yazoo’s two studio albums, while also folding in material from her later solo work, specifically the minutes and Other. The tour begins in September 2026 and was originally announced as a 34-date run. 

What makes this run stand out is its focus. Rather than the usual career-spanning format, Moyet is leaning heavily into the Yazoo years, revisiting the short but hugely influential catalogue she recorded with Vince Clarke in the early 1980s. Official tour details say the shows are centered on the two Yazoo albums, with a smaller selection drawn from her two electronic-leaning solo records. 

Fans have responded fast. A large part of the tour is already either sold out or down to limited availability, including several early European dates. On Moyet’s official live schedule, shows such as Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Brussels are already marked sold out, and a long list of UK and Ireland dates has also filled up quickly.

That rush has now pushed Moyet to expand the tour. Ten extra UK dates have been added following the first wave of demand, giving fans another chance to catch a show after the original run began disappearing at speed. 

Yazoo only released two albums, but their impact far outweighed their brief lifespan, and Moyet’s voice remains inseparable from songs that still carry real emotional weight more than four decades later. Bringing that material back in a dedicated live setting gives this tour a stronger hook than a standard greatest-hits outing. 

The result is a tour that feels less like a routine victory lap and more like a proper return to a defining era. And with many dates already gone, the newly added shows may not stay available for long either.
