Rick Astley

When: 10th April 2026
Location: OVO Hydro

Rick Astley, the pop icon and multi-platinum selling artist is back! Coming to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 10th April 2026.

Kicking things off at Glasgow OVO Hydro on 10 April, Rick will perform twelve dates culminating with a huge headline show at London’s The O2 on 25 April. Rick will also be joined by very special guest Gabrielle.

Rick Astley’s story is a remarkable career of two chapters. Way back in 1987, he became an unlikely global phenomenon as his era-defining smash ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ established him as an international chart-topping, BRIT Award winning global star – a status heightened by further hits such as ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’ and ‘Together Forever’. His debut album, ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’, sold 15.2m copies worldwide and made him a household name. But then he stepped away from the spotlight, seemingly leaving that chapter of his life firmly in the past.

Rick’s second chapter then started when he celebrated his half-century by returning to the top of the charts with 2016’s ‘50’. The somehow still boyish singer, songwriter and producer has stayed at the top of his game ever since, leading to collaborations with everyone from Foo Fighters to Blossoms, a double bill of festival sets at Glastonbury, and a No.2 chart position for his new album Are We There Yet?. Rick has gone on to release eight studio albums, selling over 40 million records worldwide, and has played and toured around the world multiple times.

After taking a break in 2025, Rick is excited to head out on his UK arena tour in 2026.
