Jamie T previews new material and delivers fan favourites at intimate London gig as he announces 2026 UK tour

Jamie T made his return to the live stage last night (August 20) with a last-minute, intimate gig at London’s Scala before announcing a full-scale 2026 UK tour.

See what went down and tour details below.

The show was announced last week, with fans reporting tickets selling out in minutes.

It marked the musician’s first live performance in almost exactly two years, following a 2024 set at Portsmouth’s Victorious Festival.

As Jamie T – full name Jamie Treays – walked out on stage with his band at 8.30pm, he was greeted with chants from the audience of “Jamie, Jamie, Jamie fucking T!”.

The chant reappeared at several moments in the set, including as the artist left the stage for one final time.

The only other new song performed in the set was ‘3310’, the first single to be taken from the upcoming album.

Treays pulled fairly evenly from across his five already-released albums, dropping versions of ‘The Theory Of Whatever’ ’s ‘The Old Style Raiders’ and ‘90s Cars’ early in the 85-minute set. ‘Rabbit Hole’, from 2014’s ‘Carry On The Grudge’ , marked the first moshpit of the night, with pint cups flying through the air as the chorus hit, while the opening note of ‘Panic Prevention’ track ‘Salvador’ caused the audience to break out in a chant of “ Ooh! Aah! ” “That’s what I hear when I go to sleep,” Treays quipped.

Early in the latter track, though, he realised he’d been singing the wrong lyrics and restarted it.

“I worked it out – it was your fucking fault with the ‘ooh! Aah’!” he laughed.

Before ‘Salvador’, Treays took a moment to reflect on his history with the venue.

“This is the venue I first played with the band in 200[6],” he told the crowd.
