Peter Capaldi Announces First Ever UK Tour
Over 40 years since he formed his punk/rock student band, The Dreamboys, iconic actor of stage and screen, Peter Capaldi, announces his first ever headline music tour, with eight-dates across the UK, kicking off in Newcastle on 24 Feb 2026. Better known as the electric guitar playing incarnation of the twelfth Dr Who, and the ‘Thick Of It’ swearer in chief Malcolm Tucker, Capaldi picks up where he left off some fifty years ago when he was a new wave wannabe rock star in a Glasgow band. Next year he hits the road for his first ever live music tour.
The dark synths, fuzzy guitars and noirish romanticism of a young rocker trapped in the body of a beloved television veteran will be on show in select venues across the UK for two weeks only next year.
Peter comments, “I was in a band at art school, fired up by the punk explosion, we went out into the world in search of rock stardom, and well… I became an actor. But I never lost my love for music. And in recent years have produced two albums of original songs, ‘St.Christopher’ (2021) and this year’s ‘Sweet Illusions’. Recording, with all the advantages of the digital age is one thing, playing live is another, but I wanted to see if I could go out after all of these years and play live in front of an audience. Well let’s see what happens. I’ve lucked out with my band, a group of wonderful young musicians who have bravely come on board for the ride.”
