Punk legend Iggy Pop will play two UK concerts next summer.

The shirt-averse septuagenarian singer plays a 10,250-capacity show at London Alexandra Palace on Wednesday 28th May 2025, before heading to Scotland for a gig at Glasgow O2 Academy on Tuesday 3rd June 2025.

The rare Glasgow concert is Iggy Pop’s first UK show outside of London in nine years and his first Scottish gig in 23 years.

Iggy’s setlist will draw from his influential output with The Stooges and his own distinguished solo career.

Both dates follow his previously announced headline slot at Bearded Theory festival on the weekend of 21st to 25th May.

Tickets go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 9am on Friday 8th November.

Iggy Pop recently announced that his ‘Live At Montreux Jazz Festival 2023’ album will be released on Friday 24th January 2025.
