We Are Scientists tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• Wow! This was my first time seeing We Are Scientists - despite listening to the band for the past 13 years. I don't understand why I waited this long to see them. They were simply amazing, much, much, much better than I had expected. They are funny, entertaining, slick and so danceable. I didn't stand still for a second during the set.

  The band also met fans at their merch stand afterwards, which always helps the overall experience, particularly as they are very nice guys. I'll definitely see them again!

• You can always guarantee a great night with WeareScientists and Tuesday at the Brudenell, Leeds was no exception. They are one of the best live acts you will ever see. Their banter is hilarious and their energy amazing. Playing a great mix of old material which they seamlessley blended in with songs from "Megaplex" it was a good old singalong! Having been to see them so many times I've lost count, they never disappoint. Also, they must be the most approachable band around - always happy to chat, have photos, sign and sell stuff and on this occasion, sort out merch problems for my daughter! Am also convinced they have the secret of eternal youth, I swear Keith and Chris look younger now than when they started out! Not to be missed!

• Keith Murray is a stage God. From the moment they kicked into 'This scene is dead', he danced, whirled, spun, and jumped around the stage delighting a rapt audience. His energy was infectious, even the more 'just here to observe' members of the audience couldn't help but edge a bit closer and just to make sure we all involved ourselves in his gig, Murray jumps off the stage and whirls around and through the audience, giving everyone a photo opportunity. The crowd deliver Murray back to the stage in a spontaneous crowd surf and he doesn't miss a note.

  There's no shortage of the famous banter between the two leads either, picking a nautical theme to entertain the islanders of Pompey. These guys are so funny but the music is seriously good: alongside the banter they deliver catchy riffs and punchy lyrics, the whole delivered perfectly, timing spot on. They race through full versions of classic hits 'chick-lit' ''nobody move ' 'I don't bite' 'it's a hit' to name less than half, plus a sprinkling of songs from the toured album Helter Skelter. Of the latter 'headlights' was the obvious hit that they'll still be playing next tour.

  These guys are true Professionals: during the encore they impromptu 'can't lose' not on the original set list but because someone has requested the song on Twitter and they deliver - beat and note perfect.

  Then into 'After Hours' with the very apt lyric:

  "And if we have to go now,

  I guess there's always hope,

  Tomorrow night will be more of the same"

  Finishing with the very harmonious and melodic 'too late' from the new album, they leave us feeling that we've been involved in something very special, invited into a We Are Scientists private party, and already nostalgic for a repeat of the good times and sad in the knowledge that it will be a while before these guys are back.

  offstage, after all the excitement, the sublime Murray waits to greet people in a plain white T, affable, charming; signing, having photos taken - as relaxed as if he's in his own back yard.

  I think the man is a God.

  Note: We Are Scientists have been touring for months - I saw them at Koko in March this year. The show is as fresh as if they were on the first date.
