Roger Taylor brings Violence Insane in a Beautiful World to Birmingham, Manchester and Swansea in his only UK dates of 2026. Check tickets.
Roger Taylor, drummer, songwriter and vocalist with Queen, brings his live band to The Alexandra Birmingham, Opera House Manchester and Swansea Building Society Arena in support of his forthcoming album Violence Insane in a Beautiful World. These are billed as his only UK performances of 2026.
This is an original artist concert, not a tribute. Roger Taylor performs with his own live band across a set that draws on material from Violence Insane in a Beautiful World alongside solo favourites.
All three venues carry an age guidance of 12+. No duration is stated in the source information. As these are the only UK dates listed for this tour cycle, there is no alternative date in the same city if plans change.
These are the dates listed by ATG as checked on 21 September 2026. A date range may contain selected performances, rather than a show every day. Open your chosen venue link for exact times, seats and current prices.
