The Overtones on 15 Years of Harmony and Their 2026 Christmas Tour

Celebrating 15 years of unforgettable harmonies and feel-good performances, The Overtones are bringing festive magic to stages across the UK with their 2026 Christmas tour, Jivin’ Home For Christmas. Expect timeless classics, brand-new songs, slick dance moves and the group’s signature feel-good energy for the perfect Christmas night out. We caught up with the group to find out more about the tour, their musical journey and what audiences can look forward to this festive season.

You’re heading back out on tour! What can fans expect from The Overtones this time around?

Honestly, a whole lot of Christmas magic, incredible harmonies, plenty of dancing and a few surprises along the way! The Jivin’ Home For Christmas tour is all about celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with the people who make what we do so special, our fans. We’ve got a fantastic show lined up, packed with festive favourites, feel-good classics and those big Overtones moments that get everyone on their feet. We want people to leave with huge smiles on their faces and a little extra Christmas sparkle!

Christmas is such a special time for live music. What makes a night with The Overtones the perfect Christmas night out?

I think it’s because it feels like one big Christmas party! You can come with your partner, your mates, your family, whoever you love spending time with, and just let your hair down for a couple of hours. There’s singing, dancing, laughter and that lovely feeling of being part of something together. We love getting the audience involved, and by the end of the night, nobody really wants to sit down! It’s the perfect excuse to get out of the house, forget about the Christmas shopping for a bit and have some proper fun.

Can fans expect any surprises in the setlist, including new songs alongside some of your classic favourites?

Absolutely! We always want to give our fans the songs they know and love, because those songs have become such a huge part of our journey together. But we also like to keep things fresh and throw in a few surprises. Christmas gives us a brilliant opportunity to mix festive classics with the music that has become synonymous with The Overtones. We want the audience to have those nostalgic moments where they think, “I LOVE this song!”, alongside a few unexpected moments that keep them guessing. You’ll have to come along to find out!

You’ve performed everywhere from the Royal Albert Hall to Buckingham Palace and in front of huge audiences around the world. Does performing a more intimate theatre show at Christmas give you a different feeling?

It really does. We’ve been incredibly lucky to perform in some extraordinary places, in front of thousands of people, but there’s something very special about a theatre. You can see people’s faces, make eye contact and really feel the connection with the audience. Christmas makes that even more special because there’s such a lovely sense of warmth and nostalgia. After all these years, those moments when the audience sings back to us are still some of my favourite parts of performing. It never gets old, and I never take it for granted.

After all these years performing together, what’s your favourite part of being on the road as The Overtones, and who’s the biggest troublemaker on tour?

The camaraderie, without a doubt. We’ve shared so many incredible experiences over the years, and the memories we’ve made on the road are just as important as the shows themselves. There’s nothing quite like getting together, stepping on stage and doing what we love. Of course, being on tour also means far too much coffee, terrible jokes and a lot of winding each other up! As for the biggest troublemaker… I’m going to diplomatically say it depends on the day! We’re all perfectly behaved professionals, obviously… until we’re not lol

You’re currently working on new original music with award-winning songwriter and producer Eliot Kennedy. What can you tell us about this new music, and what can fans look forward to from the next chapter of The Overtones?

We’re really excited about this next chapter. Working with Eliot Kennedy has been fantastic. He’s an incredible songwriter and producer and worked with the likes of Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin & Take That so he really understands how to bring out the best in The Overtones. We’re exploring new original material while staying true to what people love about The Overtones those big harmonies, the soul, the feel-good energy and songs that connect with people. It’s about taking everything we’ve learned over the years and using that experience to create something fresh. We’re incredibly proud of what we’re working on, and we can’t wait for our fans to hear it starting with the brand new Xmas single. There’s still plenty of life in The Overtones yet!

Finally, what would you say to anyone thinking about coming along to see you? Why should they book their tickets now?

Do it! Honestly, there’s no better way to get yourself into the Christmas spirit. We’ve put so much love into this show, and we want it to be a night where you can forget about your worries, sing your heart out, dance in your seat, or get up and have a proper boogie, and leave feeling fantastic. We absolutely love seeing familiar faces in the audience, and we love welcoming people who are coming to see us for the first time, too. The tour starts on 7th November and takes us all around the UK, so get your tickets booked, gather your favourite people and come and jive home for Christmas with us. We promise to bring the harmonies, the festive fun and a whole lot of cheeky Overtones charm. See you there!
