About this event
Legendary queen songwriter, drummer and singer Roger Taylor is hitting the road with a new tour and album for autumn 2026. Including a date at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on Tuesday September 22, Taylor will visit six venues in celebration of new album Violence Insane In A Beautiful World for his only UK shows this year. Speaking about the new album and tour, Roger said: “There is a theme, you know, it’s in the title really, what a beautiful world we live in, don’t fuck it up. But it is a beautiful world, you know. And kindness is very important, I think, it seems to be forgotten quite a lot. So, that is basically the sort of underlying theme.” “I mean, do people want to see me live? I would hope some would. I thought I'd put a toe in the water. You know, I don't want to play clubs. I certainly won't be playing arenas.”
