Dead Dads Club, the new musical venture led by former Palma Violets frontman Chilli Jesson, has revealed plans for a UK headline tour in May 2026. The announcement follows the release of their self-titled debut album in January, which was produced by Fontaines D.C. guitarist Carlos O'Connell.
The tour will kick off on May 12 at Birmingham's Sunflower Lounge, with subsequent stops in Cardiff, Brighton, Norwich, London, Bedford, Liverpool, and Southampton. The final show is scheduled for May 22 at Zerox in Southampton. Tickets are currently available for purchase.
"The new album comes 13 years after the first Palma Violets album," notes the announcement, highlighting Jesson's musical evolution through various projects, including Crewel Intentions and his solo work. His collaboration with O'Connell began during his time as a live multi-instrumentalist for Fontaines D.C. in 2023.
Fans can expect a blend of raw energy and introspective themes, as Dead Dads Club continues to build momentum with their debut record and upcoming live performances.
