To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album Costello Music, The Fratellis have announced a run of dates across the UK in February 2026. 

In the autumn of 2006, Scottish indie-rockers The Fratellis burst onto the scene with their blistering debut album, Costello Music.

Filled to the brim with catchy riffs and brash vocals, the record featured some of the band’s most enduring tracks, including the cheeky Henrietta, the slightly softer Whistle for the Choir, and the truly iconic Chelsea Dagger.

Now, almost two decades on, The Fratellis have announced their plans to take Costello Music back out on the road.

After a run of festival slots this summer, including a performance on the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury, the band will celebrate the 20-year anniversary of their debut record with an extensive UK tour taking place next February. 

After kicking things off at Nottingham’s Rock City on February 5, 2026, The Fratellis will bring the infectious choruses of Costello Music to a number of historic venues across the country, including Manchester Albert Hall, the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo and Liverpool Olympia.

The tour will conclude at NX in Newcastle on February 20.

Since introducing themselves with ‘Costello Music’ in the late 2000s, The Fratellis have continually reasserted themselves as a staple act in British guitar music, winning over new generations of fans who have bolstered their live presence.

The band now have six full-length studio records to their name, with the latest, Drunk Under a Full Moon, arriving in 2021. 

Pairing the stomping singalongs for which The Fratellis first found fame with lush songs steeped in brass and strings, the record was a treasure trove of excess, earning the band a top-three chart position in their home country as well as praise from the likes of Gigwise and Riff Magazine.

A deluxe version of the record arrived in 2022, featuring eight unheard tracks.

Now, The Fratellis are looking a little further back in their career, celebrating the album that kickstarted it all as they prepare to take Costello Music back out on the road.
