Cage The Elephant have officially announced their highly anticipated ‘Dying In Reverse’ tour, set to sweep across the UK and Europe in 2027. These dates mark the acclaimed Kentucky six-piece's first return to the continent since 2025, which saw them play two sold-out nights at London’s Brixton Academy, igniting fan excitement.
The extensive tour will kick off on Monday, February 8, at Tempodrom in Berlin, traversing through Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and France before landing in the UK for a significant six-date run. The UK leg begins in Cardiff on February 22, culminating in a colossal show at London’s Alexandra Palace on March 1, promising an unforgettable experience for long-awaiting fans.
This major tour announcement follows closely on the heels of their new single, ‘Beaches In Tennessee’, released last month, and precedes another upcoming track, ‘Dying In Reverse’, due out this Thursday (September 10). Both singles are expected to feature on the band’s yet-to-be-detailed seventh studio album, heralding a vibrant new era for the group.
Frontman Matt Schultz shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming shows, stating: “We’re so excited to return to Europe and the UK on this tour. The audiences over there have always embraced us, and we can’t wait to come back and play the new songs!”

A New Chapter: Evolution, Recovery, and Resurgence
The announcement of the ‘Dying In Reverse’ tour carries significant weight, signaling not just new music but a profound artistic and personal evolution for Cage The Elephant, particularly frontman Matt Shultz. The tour title itself, coinciding with a new single, hints at a journey of overcoming adversity and transforming past struggles into forward momentum.
Shultz has openly shared his recent experiences with a mental health crisis, which culminated in an arrest in 2023 due to psychotic delusions from medication. He powerfully described this challenging period, stating it was "extremely traumatic" and that the arrest itself was “without a doubt, a miracle,” which ultimately "saved my life."
This candidness imbues the new music and forthcoming tour with a raw authenticity. Shultz describes the song ‘Beaches In Tennessee’ as a fictionalized account of his mental health crisis, showcasing how his personal narrative is now deeply intertwined with the band’s artistic output. This willingness to confront and process such experiences publicly marks a pivotal moment for the band.
Musically, this era represents a deliberate reinvention. Shultz affirmed, “Musically, we always want to reinvent Cage The Elephant. We’ve discovered a whole new side to our band, how we look at things, and how we make art. You’re growing constantly as an artist, and I think we’ve tapped into that growth. I do feel like we’re making the best music we’ve ever made. If anything, it’s definitely the most inspired.”
The band’s recent stint as special guests on Oasis’ ‘Live ’25 tour’ also played a crucial role in this resurgence. Shultz noted, “The Oasis tour really reignited our fire to dream and continue to dream. I think we realised there’s still room to evolve and push ourselves, especially in the live realm. That tour added to our overall passion and desire to see this thing through. When it was over, we decided not to take a break… We pretty much went straight into the studio to start making music.” This demonstrates a renewed vigour and commitment to their craft.
For fans, ‘Dying In Reverse’ is more than just a tour; it’s a testament to resilience and the transformative power of art. It’s an invitation to witness a band not just return to the stage, but to do so with newfound depth, inspiration, and a powerful story to tell. This tour could very well cement Cage The Elephant’s legacy as one of the most dynamic and enduring acts of their generation.
