Jefferson Starship have officially announced a major UK run of shows as part of their ongoing 2026 “Runaway Again” tour, continuing a packed year of international live dates for the classic rock veterans.
The band will join the UK leg of a larger touring package that also features acts like Foreigner and other classic rock names, bringing a multi-artist arena-style experience to British audiences in mid-2026. One of the confirmed UK appearances includes a show at the AO Arena in Manchester on June 18, 2026, where Jefferson Starship will perform as special guests alongside Foreigner.
The “Runaway Again” tour itself is part of a wider 2026 schedule that sees the band heavily active across North America, with a series of casino, theatre and amphitheatre dates running from early spring through late summer. The tour officially begins in January 2026, marking another full-scale touring cycle for the long-running group.
Before the UK appearance, Jefferson Starship will already have completed a busy stretch of U.S. shows in March 2026, including performances in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget, Temecula in California, and Wheatland. These early dates set the tone for a year filled with constant touring across multiple regions.
The band’s 2026 itinerary continues well beyond Europe, stretching across the United States with dozens of confirmed stops including casino venues, amphitheaters, and regional festivals. Their schedule reflects a mix of headlining performances and collaborative shows with other classic rock acts as part of larger touring packages.
Industry reports also confirm that Jefferson Starship are part of a major 2026 North American touring collaboration with Deep Purple and Kansas, further expanding their live presence alongside some of rock’s most established names. The tour will run from August through September 2026, covering major cities across the United States and Canada, adding even more visibility to their already packed year.
For fans, 2026 is shaping up as one of Jefferson Starship’s most active touring years in recent memory, with appearances spanning continents and formats — from headline casino shows to arena guest slots in the UK and large-scale festival-style rock tours.
With decades of history behind them, Jefferson Starship continue to maintain a strong live presence, bringing their classic catalog and enduring legacy to audiences around the world as part of a busy and wide-reaching 2026 touring cycle.
