Canadian rockers THEORY OF A DEADMAN announce their return to the UK with a February tour starting in Nottingham’s legendary Rock City.
The Barricade Tour will be the band’s first UK shows since a triumphant 2023 UK tour and it promises to be more than just another show. It’s an unforgettable evening comprised of hard rock anthems, raw energy, and decades of fan-favourite hits.
Whether you’ve been with them since day one or just found your new favourite track, this tour promises to deliver it all! General tickets are on sale on Friday (22 May) at 10am HERE. Pre-sale starts tomorrow (Wednesday 20 May at 10am).
THEORY OF A DEADMAN is a multi-platinum Canadian rock band formed in 1999 in North Delta, British Columbia. The quartet—consisting of Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joey Dandeneau—initially built a massive following through a signature blend of post-grunge, hard rock, and alternative metal.
They have earned twelve Top 10 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, anchored by chart-topping stadium anthems like “Bad Girlfriend,” “Hate My Life,” and the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be”. While their early material thrived on heavy riffs, the band has continually evolved their sound, incorporating pop, acoustic, and country storytelling elements. This progression is highlighted by their poignant, socially-conscious 2017 hit “Rx (Medicate)” and their latest material, including the recently released single “Barricade”.
THEORY OF A DEADMAN’s Barricade Tour will kick off on February 7 in Nottingham (Rock City) and along the way, it will make stops in Glasgow (Garage), Sheffield (Corporation), Manchester (O2 Ritz), London (Shepherds Bush Empire), Wolverhampton (KK’s Steelmill) and Torquay (Arena).
“We cannot wait to get back to the UK & Europe to play again for some of the greatest fans on the planet! It’s been way too long!!!” explains Tyler Connolly of THEORY OF A DEADMAN.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN have just released their hard-hitting new single, “Barricade.” Marking a new chapter for the band, comprising Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joey Dandeneau, the track delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency. Driven by a tense, simmering energy, “Barricade” builds from restrained verses into a massive, cathartic chorus, capturing the push-and-pull emotion at the core of the song while maintaining an undeniable arena-ready punch.

Blending witty, candid songwriting with undeniable riffs and massive melodic hooks, the Canadian quartet — Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner, and Joey Dandeneau — has built a career defined by both attitude and staying power.
From fan favorites like “Santa Monica” to gold-certified hit “All Or Nothing,” platinum singles “Hate My Life” and “Bitch Came Back,” and the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be,” the band has delivered a steady stream of rock staples. They’ve landed twelve Top 10 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, including four #1 singles: “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” “History Of Violence,” and “Rx (Medicate).” The latter stands as the biggest hit of their career, earning a nomination for “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Along the way, THEORY OF A DEADMAN has achieved two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200, four Top 5 debuts on the Canadian Albums Chart, and multiple Juno Award nominations, while drawing praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, and Classic Rock Magazine.
