will return to the UK in December for a nine-city run with ABC and , a trek being billed as . The schedule begins on December 7 in Bournemouth and ends at the O2 in London on December 19.

Tickets for the shows go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 29, at 9:30 am BST. The announcement gives fans a clear target date to plan around, with the band pairing its winter UK dates with a separate cluster of North America shows in September.

Those September appearances include Puyallup, Washington, on September 4; Costa Mesa, California, on September 6; and Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 7. For Culture Club, the timing keeps the group visible on both sides of the Atlantic as the year moves toward the holiday season.

The lineup taps into the reach of three 1980s British groups, and the tour title signals what audiences can expect: hits. Culture Club has had one top-10 album and six top-10 singles in the United States, while in the UK it has logged four top-10 albums and nine top-10 singles. Its most recent album was Life, released in 2018.

That history matters because this is not a nostalgia package built around deep cuts or a one-off reunion date. It is a full tour built around the songs that made the band a fixture of the decade, with a UK route that stretches from the south coast to London’s biggest arena stage. The inclusion of ABC and Haircut 100 strengthens that pitch, giving the run a broader snapshot of the era.

The practical question now is demand. With sales opening at 9:30 am BST on May 29, fans who want the December dates will have one brief window to secure seats before the winter run starts taking shape.
