It comes after the iconic solo artist and former Stooges frontman announced last month that he would be embarking on two “landmark” UK shows next spring. These were confirmed for London and Glasgow, with the former scheduled for Alexandra Palace on May 28, and the latter planned for the O2 Academy in the city on June 3.

They are set to celebrate Iggy Pop’s musical legacy, and will see him perform hits from across his five-decade career.

Now, following “phenomenal” demand for tickets, another date has been lined-up, taking place in Manchester next spring.

The show will be held at the O2 Victoria Warehouse and take place on May 31 – between the previously scheduled shows in London and Glasgow. “Fans in the North will now have the chance to experience Iggy Pop’s legendary energy and boundary-pushing artistry in an electrifying live setting,” a press release reads.

Tickets for the new Manchester show go on sale this Friday (December 6) at 9am. Pre-sale options commence from Wednesday (4) at 9am. Visit here for tickets and find a list of new dates below.

Iggy Pop’s 2025 UK tour dates are:

MAY 
28 – Alexandra Palace, London
31 – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester [NEW]

JUNE
3 – O2 Academy, Glasgow

It was previously reported that the upcoming UK shows will see the punk icon joined by a number of “special guests”, as well as a band of “celebrated collaborators”. At time of writing, however, no names have been announced.

The announcement of new live dates comes as Iggy has been re-visiting his back catalogue recently, singing a collection of Stooges songs for the first time in over a decade earlier this year.

During a performance with Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ Nick Zinner, Matt Sweeney, for instance, he surprised fans with some of the band’s classic hits, from ‘1970’ to ‘I Got A Right’.

Ahead of the release of his latest album, ‘Every Loser‘, Iggy spoke to NME about his legacy and impact on pop culture. “I suppose if I was another person, I could sit down and graph all that out and come up with some sort of a schematic plan to capitalise a little bit more, but I’m not,” he told us.

“I have noticed life has become a little easier and more rewarding in certain areas than it used to be and seems to continue that way, which really surprises me. Mostly I’m grateful there are people who’ve listened to the music and enjoy it.”
