Big Country are led by Bruce Watson, one of the founding members of Big Country, alongside the late, great guitarist, singer and songwriter Stuart Adamson.
Now, Big Country Redux announce a 15 date UK tour in November and December 2026 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of ‘The Seer’. ‘The Seer’ was Big Country’s third album and featured the song ‘Look Away’ which was their biggest hit in the UK, whilst the title track featured a duet between Stuart Adamson and Kate Bush. ‘The Seer’ album itself hit No.2 spot in the UK. All dates will feature support from Evan Peters Presents The Alarm. Between 2011 and 2013 , following the death of Stuart Adamson, Evan’s father Mike Peters was the lead vocalist for Big Country as well as The Alarm.
September will see the release of the ‘Eastworld’ album, which will be released on CD, Vinyl and Digital on 18 September through Absolute. The album will be preceded by the first single, the title track ‘Eastworld’ on 5 June 2026.
The album consists of 10 brand new recordings of Big Country songs originally written or co-written by Stuart Adamson, which were released as demoes or sketches, but never previously properly developed or lavished with the attention they deserved. With the publication of the well-regarded book on Adamson’s life ‘Stay Alive’ by Scott Rowley, and a forthcoming documentary, the spotlight is on the band and the legacy once again. The UK tour kicks off in Middlesbrough on 19 November, and finishes in Bristol on 10 December.
