Following its explosive debut in 2025 and overwhelming fan demand, the Gladiators Live Tour will make a triumphant return in 2026, bringing the iconic phenomenon back to arenas across the UK for an electrifying new run of shows.
Audiences will once again have the chance to experience the action-packed spectacle on an epic scale.
The tour kicks off in Aberdeen at the P&J Live Arena on 10 and 11 October, before heading to Glasgow OVO Hydro, London OVO Arena Wembley, Manchester AO Arena, Newcastle Utilita Arena, Liverpool M&S Bank Arena and Birmingham BP Pulse Live. Tickets go on sale on Friday 27 March.
The 2025 live tour thrilled audiences nationwide, selling over 200,000 tickets and proving the arena spectacular is bigger, bolder and more electrifying than ever. In 2026, the action returns - louder, faster and more spectacular.
This adrenaline-fuelled two-hour arena event sees the legendary Gladiators storm back into the arena to face fearless contenders in a heart-pounding live adaptation of the smash-hit television phenomenon. Expect iconic fan-favourite events, breathtaking stunts, epic head-to-head battles and the unforgettable Eliminator finale. With non-stop action, heroic showdowns and moments guaranteed to have the entire arena on its feet, Gladiators Live delivers edge-of-your-seat entertainment for the whole family.
Audiences can expect a truly immersive, high-octane experience, as arenas are transformed into modern gladiatorial battlegrounds complete with purpose-built sets, spectacular lighting and cinematic staging. Featuring stars from the hit BBC series, the live show brings the power, athleticism and drama of the beloved franchise closer to fans than ever before.
Celebrating the triumphant revival of one of Britain’s most iconic entertainment brands, the Gladiators Live Tour blends nostalgia with cutting-edge live production to create a spectacular event where anything can happen and every contender has something to prove.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live, said: “Many fans will remember the hit TV series which launched to great success back in the early 90s - a much-watch programme on a Saturday night. Having relaunched the TV show to exceptional success, we are delighted to be bringing the live adaptation to Aberdeen later this year. This is an action-packed challenge for the whole family to enjoy and promises edge of your seat excitement. Will our contenders win against the Gladiators? There’s only one way to find out.”
The announcement comes as excitement around Gladiators continues to build across the UK. With the Gladiators Experience opening in Birmingham this May, giving fans the chance to step into the arena and take on the challenges themselves, the brand’s resurgence shows no signs of slowing down. From the smash-hit BBC television revival to immersive live experiences, Gladiators continues to capture the imagination of audiences nationwide, cementing its place as one of Britain’s most beloved entertainment franchises.
