The Molotovs Announce ‘Wasted On Youth’ 2026 UK Tour: Brother-Sister Duo Hit Grassroots Venues for Debut Album Launch – Full Dates, Tickets & Why This Tour Matters
London, 10 November 2025 – Teenage rock rebels The Molotovs – siblings Matthew (17) and Issey Cartlidge (19) – have unveiled the ‘Wasted On Youth’ UK tour, a 23-date grassroots assault across January and February 2026 in support of their debut album Wasted On Youth (out January 30, 2026 via Marshall Records).
Fresh from their sold-out Electric Ballroom triumph (1,500 capacity, October 2025 – 5 stars from Music News, dubbed “the future of British Rock” by Punk In Focus) and Iggy Pop US support slots, the duo are championing independent venues: “We’re doing this to stand with grassroots venues that help keep music alive, and formed an intrinsic part of the band’s origins.” – Matthew Cartlidge
The tour follows third consecutive Top 3 physical single ‘Rhythm Of Yourself’ and their upcoming Yungblud arena run. Expect hour-long sets of pogoing anthems, new album cuts, and Gen-Z defiance.
