Blue Öyster Cult have added an extra date to their upcoming 55th anniversary UK tour due to huge demand.
The rock legends will play Manchester Academy on Friday 2nd April 2027 in addition to their previously announced shows at London’s world-famous Royal Albert Hall and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
When Rivers Meet at the special guests in Manchester and Glasgow, while the mighty Magnum perform in London.
Planet Rock has a 48-hour ticket pre-sale to Blue Öyster Cult’s Manchester show that starts RIGHT HERE at 10am on Wednesday 28th October.
The ‘55 Years on Tour – 1972 to 2027’ dates follow the band's sold-out London Palladium show in 2025, and give UK fans another chance to see one of the defining classic rock bands in full flight.
Blue Öyster Cult’s line-up features original core duo Eric Bloom (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (vocals, lead guitar), alongside Richie Castellano (guitar, keyboards), Danny Miranda (bass) and Jules Radino (drums).
The Long Island rock legends released their 15th studio album ‘Ghost Stories’ in 2014, which featured original songs alongside covers of tracks by The Beatles, The Animals and MC5.
Fans can expect to hear timeless anthems including ‘Burnin' for You’, ‘Godzilla’ and the cowbell-tastic ‘(Don't Fear) The Reaper’ at the London and Glasgow concerts.
