Sheffield-based indie-rock band Rosadocs are about to embark on their first ever UK headline tour in 2026. They will also be touring with two of the UK’s most celebrated indie bands: The Enemy and The Lilacs. This news comes after the release of their widely popular EP The City’s No Good for Reflection, released in June.

Frontman Keelan Graney says: “This EP really felt like us stepping into our own. To hear songs like Bittersweet and In the Storm sung back at festivals all summer was incredible – it made us realise just how far things have come. But we’re not stopping there. There’s new music coming next year, and it’s the boldest stuff we’ve written yet.”

2025 was arguably Rosadoc’s most successful year to date. After hitting the main stage of Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus festival, they performed at Hardwick and Victorious Festival, and went on to perform sold-out shows in Sheffield and London. Safe to say, a year for the books!

With a sound which is driven in part by soft guitar melodies, and in part gritty Northern storytelling, Rosadocs have often been compared to the likes of early Courteeners and Arctic Monkeys.

Graney discusses the bands’ excitement ahead of the tour: “Supporting The Enemy and The Lilacs is massive for us. These are bands we grew up on – they were part of the soundtrack to our teenage years. To now be sharing stages with them, and to see how their fans have taken to us, it’s been surreal. But more than anything, it’s given us the hunger to go out and headline our own shows. We want to prove that we belong on bills like that, and this tour is our chance to do exactly that.”

Starting out in 2017, the band has steadily been gaining traction, and this tour will hopefully be the first of many. The tour includes stops at London’s Lexington, Manchester’s Gorilla, Glasgow’s King Tut’s and Leeds’ Brudenell Social Club, before a hotly anticipated homecoming at Sheffield’s Octagon.
