Scott said: "In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI generated...

"We’ll gladly take the other side of that wager.

"On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox UK / Europe / Australia / New Zealand tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them."

The 2026 UK tour includes 20 dates across May and June.

Performances will feature a rotating cast of vocalists, musicians, and dancers performing reimagined versions of songs from the 1970s to today, including rock classics, Britpop anthems, movie themes, and even video game soundtracks.

Fans are encouraged to dress in vintage attire and fully immerse themselves in the show’s nostalgic atmosphere.

The Postmodern Jukebox journey began in a small New York apartment, where Scott Bradlee and his collaborators recorded videos of contemporary pop songs reinvented in classic styles.

The concept quickly gained traction online, amassing a huge following and evolving into a full-scale touring act.

Each show features a mix of musical talent, theatrical flair, and humour, offering fans an evening of escapism and entertainment.

The Glasgow date is part of a broader UK itinerary that includes stops in London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Edinburgh.

Postmodern Jukebox’s rotating cast has included a wide array of vocalists, musicians, and performers known for their charisma and stage presence.

Tickets for the 2026 tour go on general sale from Friday, November 21 at 11am via AEGPresents.co.uk.
