Clear your diaries now, because Gabrielle has just announced a huge UK tour for 2027, and it’s shaping up to be a greatest hits victory lap.

The tour, appropriately titled The Hits Tour, will go on artist presale on 15 April, with general sale following on 17 April — so yes, you should probably already be setting reminders, especially as two dates in the East Midlands are planned.

Kicking off in March 2027 in Ipswich, the tour will travel across the UK for 18 dates, before wrapping up in style at Manchester’s AO Arena on April 24. A strong finish, we’d expect nothing less.

During the tour she’ll be rocking up to Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday, April 13 and then plays Leicester De Montfort Hall on Friday, April 16.

If you needed reminding why this is a big deal: Gabrielle has casually racked up six top ten albums, including 2018’s Under My Skin, and made a triumphant return in 2024 with A Place In Your Heart — an album that was widely praised and basically confirmed she’s still very much That Girl.

She’s also extremely decorated. Over the years, Gabrielle has picked up two BRIT Awards, two MOBO Awards, and an Ivor Novello Award, because when you’ve got that voice and those songs, the awards kind of just follow.

A whole new generation also discovered her thanks to her iconic run on The Masked Singer in 2021, which led to a fresh wave of love, big TV moments, and even a cameo in Stormzy’s 2022 cultural reset Mel Made Me Do It. Casual behaviour.

And let’s be real — this tour is stacked. The setlist is expected to be full of absolute classics, including ‘Rise’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Out of Reach’, ‘Sunshine’, ‘When A Woman’ and ‘Give Me a Little More Time’. Songs that hit just as hard now as they did the first time around.

Still at the top of her game, Gabrielle remains as passionate as ever — connecting with fans across generations and proving that real vocals, great songwriting and pure star power never go out of style.

Basically: if you’ve ever screamed “I’m gonna RIIIISE” in your bedroom, your car, or a slightly chaotic dancefloor — this tour is for you.
