Roger Taylor 2026 tour ticket tracker
The Queen drummer is on a short tour of the UK. How are tickets selling?
WrestleTix is a Twitter and Patreon account which tracks ticket sales for pro-wrestling events by monitoring mostly Ticketmaster seating maps. I thought I’d do the same for Queen drummer Roger Taylor’s 2026 tour of the UK, just to have the information out there for future historians. It’s a short, six-date tour to promote his latest solo album Violence Insane in a Beautiful World.

* I continued counting until an hour or so before each gig started and the ticket map went offline. Resales tickets count as sold.
** All 514 seated tickets (Level 2) were sold for the London date. Standing area tickets are not countable on the Ticketmaster website. As of 22 September, you could only buy resale tickets, which indicated all floor tickets had been sold. However, on the 25th, standard (non-resale) tickets were available again. It seems venue capacity is in the region of 1,800. (Gigs with Ivan has a write-up of the venue in concert setup. He mentions gig capacity being unclear, but thinks it’s 1,800.).
Other note: all VIP tickets were sold in all venues. Some may be available via resale – it’s not something I tracked.
Filming permalink
It looks like the London concert was filmed. Videographers CreoKinetics posted on Instagram on 30 September that they’d been ‘providing and operating 5x fixed rig cameras and 1x 4K PTZ onstage […], alongside a crew of front of house cameras.’ We got a live album (The Outsider Tour Live, 2022) out of the previous tour. Some kind of live audio-visual release for the Violence Insane… era would be just braw!
