Maximo Park to mark 20 years of debut album ‘A Certain Trigger’ on 2026 UK tour
The band will play their debut record as well as other hits around the country early next year
Maximo Park have announced a 2026 tour of the UK, marking 20 years of their debut album, A Certain Trigger.
The north east band released their debut record in 2005, and will take it on tour to venues including London’s Brixton Academy, beginning next February. A physical reissue of the album will also land on October 31 this year.
“Not many bands make it to a twentieth year together so we’re having a big celebration, with a special 20th anniversary tour and by giving a fresh perspective to A Certain Trigger,” frontman Paul Smith said.
“Our first album remains dear to so many people, and compiling archive material for the reissue has been like entering a time machine – thrilling, but also a bit scary! Happily, we think the music has more than stood the test of time, and the tour, where we’ll revisit many of the beloved older songs, will be a joyful experience for both us and our audience. Playing live has always been at the heart of what we do, and we still feel the same exhilaration stepping onto the stage as we did in the beginning, but now with even more appreciation of the moment, and the roar of the crowds.”
A presale for tickets begins at 10am BST on Wednesday, August 27 (sign up here) with a general sale here from the same time on Friday, August 29.
