Fairport Convention Gigs 2026
Spring Tour 2026
We've pushed the Winter Tour into the next season for a number of reasons, the main one being we hope it makes it more appealing for you to venture out to come and see us. It's exactly the same line-up and format to the Winter Tour, just a different time of year! There's some new venues on the list and some old favourites that aren't - and we know we can't please everyone all the time - but we'll continue to do our best and hope to see you at a show or two! We are really delighted to have Jenn Butterworth joining us on ht tour. You'll love her. FCx
