Bombay Bicycle Club have announced a couple of intimate UK live shows, leading up to their slot at All Points East 2025. Check out the details below.
The new dates all come in the run-up to the band’s slot at the London festival, taking place at Victoria Park this summer alongside The Maccabees.
The first of which will be taking place at the Barbican venue in York and set to be held on August 22. The latter will see the band take to the stage at the Mountford Hall venue in Liverpool the following night (August 23).
They follow on from a previously confirmed slot the band have planned for May, which will take place at the Tomavistas Festival in Madrid at the end of that month.
Tickets for both new UK shows go on tomorrow (March 14) at 9am local time. Support for each gig will come from former NME cover stars Divorce, and you can visit here to buy tickets.

The band’s latest album arrived in 2023 when they shared their sixth LP, ‘My Big Day’, which debuted at Number Three on the UK Official Albums Chart. The album featured collaborations with Chaka Khan, Damon Albarn, Jay Som, Nilüfer Yanya and Holly Humberstone.
In a four-star review of the LP, NME deemed it “a creative milestone in itself, it’s a far cry from the four-to-the-floor, teenage guitar band that a whole generation grew up with.”
Speaking to NME at the time of ‘My Big Day’s release, guitarist Jamie MacColl emphasised the band’s desire to move forward, rather than dwell on their prior success.
“I think nostalgia is the enemy of creativity and progress, to be honest. I think with the way streaming works, so much of the music ecosystem now services nostalgia so I think you have to constantly fight against that,” he said.
“We were a teenage band that a lot of people grew up with as teenagers, which is a very important phase in people’s lives – and then we went on hiatus for five years. So we’re kind of stuck in time for some people, to some extent, which makes it even more important to emphasise there is something worthwhile now with the band.”
