Absolute Radio is giving listeners a chance to win tickets as Levellers head out on a UK & European tour this autumn. The run begins in Köln on Friday October 16th and closes on 21st November at London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo.
Levellers have been one of Britain’s most enduring and best-loved bands for nearly 40 years, and the itinerary leans on that history rather than treating it like a quick nostalgia lap. The set will feature many of the songs from Levelling The Land, plus further fan-favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.
Levelling The Land in 2026
Levelling The Land was their platinum-selling second album, and it reaches its 35th anniversary in 2026. That gives the tour a clear frame: this is not just a route through October and November, but a live pass through the record that helped define the band’s long run.
For listeners, the practical point is simple. Fans can enter to win the chance to be at some of the UK dates, with the giveaway tied to the tour announcement rather than a separate run of shows. That makes the UK stops the part of the schedule with the immediate audience hook, especially for anyone following the band’s catalogue rather than a single album cycle.
Köln to London
The tour starts in Köln, Germany on Friday October 16th and ends on 21st November at London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo. That span gives the band room to move from one city to the next without treating the anniversary material as a one-off; the songs are being built into a longer autumn run.
The mismatch is interesting: a band active for nearly 40 years is still being sold through an album that is only reaching its 35th anniversary in 2026. That is the kind of billing that keeps legacy acts moving — new enough to feel eventful, old enough to sell on memory, and specific enough to make a ticket giveaway worth entering.
For anyone deciding whether to take part, the answer is straightforward: enter for the UK dates if you want the best shot at the album-led set, and keep Köln and London in mind as the bookends of the run. The schedule is doing the selling here.
