Sombr has announced a 2027 tour of UK and European arenas, days after pulling one of the largest crowds of the weekend on the main stage at Reading and Leeds. The new dates are billed as an extension of his You Are The Reason tour rather than a fresh campaign, and they push the 21-year-old American singer into rooms considerably larger than the clubs that carried his first run.

The routing opens in Norway, at Oslo's Unity Arena on 8 May, then works through Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands across the rest of the month. Stockholm's Avicii Arena, Copenhagen's Royal Arena, Berlin's Uber Arena, the Accor Arena in Paris and Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome are all on the list.

June turns the run toward Britain and Ireland, with festival slots at Dublin's Malahide Castle on 15 June, Belfast's Belsonic Ormeau Park on 17 June and Glasgow Summer Sessions on 19 June. The tour then closes at The O2 in London on 22 June, before a final European stop at I-DAYS in Milan on 14 July.

Support is split across the run. Ravyn Lenae and Jessie Mazin open the European arena dates, while Suki Waterhouse takes the support slot for the London finale, making that show the one with a different bill from everything around it. Tickets go on general sale on 4 September at 10am local time, with presales opening on 2 September.

The scale of the booking follows a fast two years. Sombr broke through with the single Back To Friends, released his debut album I Barely Know Her last summer, and has spent 2026 pushing that record forward, including the summer single My Body Isn't Ready. His Reading and Leeds set, which he opened by walking out of an ambulance stretcher alongside Slayyyter, was one of the weekend's more talked-about main-stage moments.

He has also been building a live profile across the festival circuit, having taken his first European festival headline set at Sziget earlier in the year, a bill on which Zara Larsson played ahead of him. His music has moved outside the concert market too, with a slot on the NBA 2K27 soundtrack alongside A$AP Rocky. The full routing sits on the tour guide, and the pop side of his catalogue keeps widening with each release.
