Hold onto your bowler hats and Doc Martens—Less Than Jake are about to unleash a riotous explosion of brass, riffs, and punk soul across the UK. The Florida-based ska-punk legends return for a headline run dubbed the Winter Circus Tour 2026, taking their infectious energy to seven cities across England and Scotland this February and March.
Known for their high-octane live shows and relentless positivity, Less Than Jake promise a celebration of community, catharsis, and sonic chaos. The tour is packed with heavyweight support from fellow punk veterans The Bouncing Souls, the kaleidoscopic mischief-makers The Aquabats!, and ska-punk firebrands The Bar Stool Preachers. Expect a night that swings from bounce-house chaos to mosh-pit joy.
The band says:
“After a lot of hoping (and a little begging), we couldn’t be MORE excited about the UK Winter Circus Tour 2026! Having our friends in Bouncing Souls, The Aquabats! and Barstool Preachers joining us will guarantee a night that we know you won’t soon forget. Come one! Come all! The UK Winter Circus is coming to town!!”

From sweaty clubs to festival fields, Less Than Jake have spent over two decades turning gigs into parties—and parties into lifelong memories. With a brass-fueled backbone and punk rock heart, they’ve built a legacy measured not in albums, but in smiles, skanking feet, and shared anthems. Their latest release, Silver Linings, on Pure Noise Records, is a shot of optimism in an otherwise unsteady world—a sonic diary of resilience with all the LTJ trademarks: groove, grit, and glorious noise.
