Super Furry Animals return with a selection of live dates in celebration of their 30+ year recording career. It is also 20 years of their Love Kraft LP which gets the reissue treatment.
SFA:OK
Super Furry Animals return to re-open the door into their world of ageless, multicolour melody and offbeat phantasia, surprising fans by announcing six Supacabra Britain & Ireland tour dates opening at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Wed 6 May 2026. Leaping into their enduring, endorphin-stirring nine-album songbook, with a singular mission to bring unalloyed joy to the hearts of the Furry family, the announcement brings to an end an almost decade-long hiatus with further dates in Glasgow, Llandudno, Manchester and London all confirmed.
Tickets for all shows, the first Super Furry Animals dates since December 2016, go on general sale on Friday 3rd October 2025 at 10am via links hosted on the Super Furry website, here.
Support comes from disco rock duo, Getdown Services (all dates except London), Welsh surf-psych six-piece Melin Melyn (Cardiff only) and soul-searching South London trio, Honeyglaze (London only).
First emerging in 1995 after their signing to Creation Records, the band grabbed headlines for their unusual promotional tactics, including the famous Super Furry Animals Tank, giant inflatable bears and Yeti costumes, as well as an unintended attempt to break the record for the most ‘f*cks’ on a song, thanks to their 1996 single, The Man Don’t Give a F*ck.
LIVE DATES
Tempering the irresistible tug towards nostalgia, Super Furry Animals will release a cut of previously unreleased music on the eve of tickets going on sale, with BBC 6 Music’s Huw Stephens premiering Rock ‘N’ Roll Flu this Thu 2 October 2025 at 5pm. Just hours later, in-demand tickets for the following Super Furry Animals Supacabra Britain & Ireland 2026 Tour dates go on sale:

LOVE KRAFT
Originally released on 22nd August 2005, the Furries’ third and final album to be recorded by Epic Records, Love Kraft is to be reissued on double vinyl, 2CDs, including the 22-track bonus CD, Kiss Me With Apocalypse and digital formats on Fri 24 October 2025 via the Cardiff-based independent label, Strangetown Records.
Four previously unheard tracks are drawn from the vaults, including the squidgy ELO-stomp of drummer, Daf Ieuan-led Rock ‘N’ Roll Flu, plus the distorted space-jam of Cae Marw, the band’s deep-bass sketch of Palo Alto and ghostly, percussive morsel of Bedw Arian.
Love Kraft’s sense of cohesion, collaboration and free-flow of rich harmony has been credited to the five-piece escaping Wales to record in the shimmering heat of Figueres, Catalunya. Bringing famed Beastie Boys producer, Mario Caldato Jr along with them for the ride, the travelling band’s stay in the Catalonian hometown of Salvador Dali included found sounds, boozy petrol stations, gastronomic revelations and, finally, a rich album of strings, synths and opulent vocal harmonies.
