Cruising Into 2026
Leeds-based alternative rock trio Dinosaur Pile-Up has officially been added to the Shiprocked 2026 lineup. The band’s Instagram handle @dpuofficial shared the news in a recent post: “@SHIPROCKED JUST ANNOUNCED! ➡️ See you 2026, legends. TIX ON SALE NOW, link in story/bio. And check us out in the UK in September 🔥 Link in story/bio.” Shiprocked, the floating rock festival that sails from Miami in January, returns January 13–17, 2026, featuring a packed roster of today’s top rock and metal acts.
Uk Dates This September
Alongside their big cruise announcement, Dinosaur Pile-Up confirmed they’ll be back on home soil this autumn. A follow-up Instagram post teased: “SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER, UK!!! 🔥 Tickets on sale Friday 9AM UK time.” While specific venues will be revealed soon, fans are advised to set alarms for the Friday 9 AM UK ticket drop to secure their spots. The band’s promo images show a bold graphic featuring the band name and “UK September,” hinting at multiple city stops.
New Album On The Horizon
Dinosaur Pile-Up isn’t just touring—they’re gearing up for fresh material. The same September-focused Instagram caption added, “AND YES 🔥🔥 NEW ALBUM COMING 🔥🔥 22/08/25 PRE-ORDER NOW! Stream ‘My Way’ now… video premieres on our YouTube 3 PM UK time!” This lines up with the band’s pattern of combining high-energy tour announcements with record releases, following their 2017 full-length Celebrity Mansions.
About Dinosaur Pile-up
Formed in 2007 in Leeds, Dinosaur Pile-Up started as a garage-infused solo project by frontman Matt Bigland. Over the years it evolved into a three-piece known for fuzz-heavy guitars and shout-along hooks. Their discography includes Growing Pains (2010), Nature Nurture (2013), Elephants (2015) and Celebrity Mansions (2017). Tracks like “My Rock’n’Roll” and “Back Foot” have earned them spots at major festivals including Reading & Leeds and Download.
With Shiprocked 2026 on the horizon and UK tour dates landing in September, Dinosaur Pile-Up are set to make 2025–26 a banner year—cruising oceans and conquering stages from their hometown backyards to the high seas.
