Ezra Collective Prepare Their Largest World Tour Yet for 2027

Ezra Collective are stepping into their biggest year of touring yet, aligning a new album with a run of dates that will take them far beyond their London roots. The Mercury Prize-winning five-piece have confirmed a world headline tour stretching from summer 2026 into early 2027, crossing Australia, Asia, North America, and Europe.

At home, the UK and Ireland leg lands in February and March 2027 with ten shows, beginning with two nights at Bristol’s Prospect Building and wrapping at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. Pa Salieu, who appeared on the band’s ‘Only Love’, will support the whole run. The itinerary, their most ambitious yet, mirrors the scope of their forthcoming fourth album, Here Because Of Hope, due 18 September via Partisan.

The album’s title traces a direct line of thought: “the journey from that pain to joy, and the connective word in the middle is hope,” the band said in a statement. They’re not shy about emotional contrast—hoping it makes people dance, hoping it makes them cry. That tension is audible in the newly shared single ‘Well Organised’, built from a steel pan melody that bandleader Femi Koleoso recorded at a Kinetika Bloco youth session. The track then gathers rhythms from Jamaican dancehall and reggae, with Lila Iké adding the vocal. It’s a song assembled from community fragments, widened onto a global stage.

The tour and single confirm a group moving with clear intention: to bring the particularities of their London formation—youth clubs, sound system culture, jazz as a living social force—to rooms that keep getting larger.
