Squeeze Announce Special Trixies Album Launch Show
For one night only, on March 11th 2026, Squeeze will be transforming the iconic Koko in Camden, London, into the mythical club Trixies for a very special album launch event.
One of 2026’s most anticipated albums Trixies is the band’s first album in eight years but the first they ever wrote. A collection of stories set in a fictional night club, Trixies, the album was written by the band’s teenage founders Chris Difford (19) and Glenn Tilbrook (16) at the very start of their songwriting partnership. Now more than fifty years on, Squeeze have completed the circle and realised the vision the precocious teens had for the songs that, as the Guardian wrote, show that “all the Squeeze hallmarks of melody, romance and storytelling were there from the beginning.”
Following the release of Trixies on March 6th, the band will perform the album in its entirety at Koko, followed by a second set of classic tracks. The audience is encouraged to arrive suited and booted for this special evening.
Fans who have pre-ordered the album from the Trixies Store will be sent an exclusive link and code for the chance to buy tickets to this very special show before they go on sale to the general public.
Ticket pre-sale – Wednesday, 25 February 9:30 AM GMT https://squeeze.lnk.to/Trixies/squeeze
General on sale – Friday 27 February https://bio.to/SqueezeKOKO
The band recently performed a special set for BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room – watch/listen HERE. This autumn Squeeze will be embarking on the most ambitious UK tour of their career, one that will also support the anti-poverty charity Trussell and Grassroots Music Venues. The 16-date Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour in 2026, starting at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on November 12, and ending at the Brighton Centre on December 5, will see Squeeze headline several arenas for the first time – including a hometown show at London’s O2 Arena just 3 miles from where the band started. Joining Squeeze on the tour as Very Special Guest will be singer, songwriter and activist Billy Bragg.
