Presale Information
There are several ways to get into the queue before general sale opens. Here's a breakdown of each presale across the Bleachers UK tour 2026.
Artist Presale
Running across all five dates, this opens on Wednesday 15th April at 10:00am BST. To qualify, you'll need to sign up to the Bleachers mailing list for free and then access the presale link from there. All the links and details you need for each show are on the individual event pages on Evnt Central.
O2 Priority Presale
Available for the Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham shows, also opening on Wednesday 15th April at 10:00am BST. You need to be an O2 or Virgin Media customer to access this one. Once you've confirmed your eligibility through the O2 Priority app or website, you can grab your access and head to the ticket retailer from there. Everything you need is linked from the Bleachers events on Evnt Central.
Spotify Presale
Available for Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham, opening Thursday 16th April at 10:00am BST. To qualify, you'll need to follow Bleachers on Spotify and opt in via Spotify's Fan First programme. Spotify will contact eligible fans directly, so make sure your Spotify account email is one you actually check. Again, all the relevant links are on each event page on our site.
Live Nation Presale
Running for Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham, this opens on Thursday 16th April at 10:00am BST. You'll need to be registered with Live Nation to access this one. It's a free sign-up and worth doing ahead of time.
Metropolis Presale
Available for Bristol and Leeds only, also from Thursday 16th April at 10:00am BST. Metropolis Music is the promoter, and you'll need to be registered with them to access their presale window. Head to the event pages on Evnt Central for the links.
Gigs in Scotland Presale
Specific to the Glasgow show, this opens on Thursday 16th April at 10:00am BST. As the name suggests, it's run by Gigs in Scotland, and registration there is what you'll need. All details are on the Glasgow event page.
How to Maximise Your Chances
1. Get into the Artist Presale — it's the easiest to qualify for. Signing up to the mailing list is free and takes seconds. It opens the same time as the O2 presale, giving you the earliest possible access across all five dates.
2. If you're an O2 or Virgin Media customer, use it. The O2 Priority presale also opens Wednesday morning, so you've got two bites at the presale cherry simultaneously. Both the artist and O2 presales open a full day before the Spotify and Live Nation windows.
3. Consider the smaller-city dates first. The London Eventim Apollo show has fewer presale options than the O2 Academy dates. Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham all have more presale routes available, so if you're flexible on location, you may find it easier to secure tickets for those.
4. Get your accounts sorted now. Whichever retailer is running your presale, make sure your account is set up, payment details are saved and your address is confirmed before the presale opens. Those extra seconds matter when inventory is limited.
5. Follow Bleachers on Evnt Central for reminders. Evnt Central will send you a free reminder when each presale is about to open. You can follow the artist and individual events so you don't have to keep checking back manually.
