A popular indie rock band have cancelled their upcoming Glasgow gig less than a month before it was set to take place. 

Deadletter were set to perform at The Art School in Glasgow’s city centre on March 4 as part of their UK tour.

However, the gig has now been cancelled along with all other dates scheduled between February 27 and March 8.

In a statement shared on Instagram, the band revealed that the shows have to be rescheduled due to the timing of their new Instagram.

The release date for the band’s second album, Existence Is Bliss, is set for February 27, 2026, meaning the tour would have begun on the same day fans first heard the new material.

The post read: "Dearest fans,

"We address you on this Tuesday afternoon with the understandably frustrating news that the February/March leg of our UK tour is to be rescheduled.

"When initially booking the dates spanning from London, February 27 to Leeds, March 8, we had it in mind that the album might have had at least a week out in the world prior to these shows.

"With the album’s release date set for February 27, we were then confronted by the fact that we’d be playing the opening night of the tour on the same day as the album’s release into the world.

"This didn’t quite sit right with us, but we thought it was worth being bold and sticking to our guns."

We reported that Deadletter first announced the Glasgow show in November.

The band is made up of vocalist Zac Lawrence, drummer Alfie Husband, and bassist George Ullyott – all lifelong friends – and has grown to a six-piece lineup since their early days.

Deadletter draws influence from acts such as LCD Soundsystem and The Stranglers.

As of February 2026, the band has around 197,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
