Loyle Carner Takes 'Hopefully!' Global: Tour Highlights and New Album
The energy around British rapper Loyle Carner is growing as he stakes out most of 2025 for his newly announced 'hopefully!' world tour. Off the back of several emotional, often sold-out gigs, Carner’s moving from hometown favorite to international act, rolling out dates across Europe, Australia, North America, and Canada. If you’ve tried getting into one of these shows lately, you’ll know tickets are moving fast, with the buzz building following his latest album drop.
The world tour kicks off in October 2025, but fans have already been scrambling for tickets. Carner is touching down in headline venues like O2 Academy Brixton in London, the typically packed Utilita Arena in Birmingham, and Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse. Spots like Cardiff’s Utilita Arena and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre round out the UK and Ireland leg. Not every fan is lucky—several London and Manchester dates sold out within hours of going on sale, a testament to how fiercely people are chasing the chance to see him live. Elsewhere in Europe, shows in Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin are on the bill, underscoring his appeal beyond the UK.
Pre-Sale Perks, Album Drops, and What Fans Can Expect
If you managed to pre-order Carner’s new album before April 29, 2025, you got the best seat in the ticket presale house. That little head start had people refreshing their browsers like it was Black Friday. The official ticket windows—through Carner’s site, Songkick, and Ticketmaster—still have a few tickets up for grabs, but with the way this is going, empty seats are a rare find. Some lucky fans even saw him in smaller settings, like his special May shows at Hackney Church in London, where he road-tested new tracks in a more intimate space before taking his act global.
Carner’s latest album, also called 'hopefully!', arrived right as the tour was announced. Featuring tracks like 'all i need' and 'in my mind', the album blends his trademark vulnerability and sharp lyricism. These songs have already become fan favorites, with their live performances getting strong reactions at his London preview. The timing couldn’t be better—the album’s release is fueling even more excitement for his run of concerts, turning each stop into a celebration of his biggest project yet.
Looking to catch one of the tour dates? You’d better move quickly—and maybe warm up your F5 key—because once these tickets go, that’s it until he’s back for another round, which, judging by the demand, might not be soon. Carner’s second act is here. And if early sales and streaming numbers mean anything, 'hopefully!' is going to be a tour fans will talk about for years.
