Louise has announced her first solo live tour in almost a decade for 2027. Find all the details below.
The former Eternal member will hit the road next spring to mark the 30th anniversary of her debut album, ‘Naked’ (1996), while also showcasing her latest full-length effort, ‘Confessions’ (2025).
Dubbed the ‘Naked // Confessions Tour 2027’, the upcoming shows across the UK mark Louise’s first headline run since 2018’s sold-out ‘Intimate And Live Tour’. It follows the cancellation of her ‘Heavy Love Tour’ in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I honestly can’t believe it’s been 30 years since ‘Naked’. That album changed everything for me,” Louise said. “To be celebrating it alongside my recent top 10 album ‘Confessions’, a record which means so much to me personally and creatively, feels incredibly special.”
She continued: “I’ve missed touring so much, and I can’t wait to be back on the road performing all the hits and ‘Confessions’ live for the first time… and maybe even some new music.”
Fans can also expect some nostalgic tracks from Louise’s time in Eternal, with the concerts spanning the singer’s entire 33-year career in music.
Kicking off in Sunderland on April 8, the trek features further stops in Manchester, Birmingham and Southend, before concluding with a gig at London’s Cadogan Hall on April 14.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (May 22) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale from the same time today (Wednesday May 20) by signing up here.
Louise’s UK headline tour dates for 2027 are:
APRIL
08 – Fire Station, Sunderland
10 – RNCM Theatre, Manchester
11 – Town Hall, Birmingham
13 – Palace Theatre, Southend
14 – Cadogan Hall, London
Next weekend, Louise will take to the stage at Mighty Hoopla 2026 in London’s Brockwell Park.
‘Naked’ features five hit singles, including ‘Light Of My Life’ and ‘Undivided Love’. Upon the record’s release, it sold over a million copies and earned Louise a BRIT nomination for Best Female Artist.
She currently holds the record for the most top 10 singles by any former British girl group member (nine), and the most top 10 albums (four), alongside Cheryl and Melanie C. The pop artist has sold over 15million records worldwide across her solo career.
Speaking to NME about ‘Confessions’ last year, Louise explained: “This is the first album I’ve ever made where I get into a car and listen to it the whole way through out of choice. I worked with producers like Jon Shave, who worked on Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’, and Anya Jones, who worked on Kylie’s ‘Tension’, to create an upbeat album with the most honest, vulnerable lyrics I’ve ever written.”
She went on: “My aim was that if I ever came back with a record, I wasn’t going to be a nostalgia act. I wanted to break down walls people wouldn’t expect of me. At the age of 50, I’ve made my most authentic album and hopefully the past element of ageism and judgement within the music industry has disappeared.”
Louise also told us that she “can’t see Eternal ever getting back together, but I wish them luck for their journey”. She said there’s “no ill-will” between the members, but admitted that their “baseline beliefs are different”.
