CruCast are turning up the bpm and fading into a brand new set of CruClash UK tour dates to kick off 2026, marking the face-to-face DJ battle concepts' first anniversary, and expanding it across five cities.

Following a skank-fuelled response to the first year of shows, the CruClash 2026 tour will first land at Unit 13 in Nottingham, before moving on to LAB11 in Birmingham, The Warehouse in Leeds, Unlocked in London, and Tank in Sheffield, continuing the label’s mission to spotlight emerging talent while rethinking traditional club formats in nights that bring energy and unapologetic fun in abundance.

In a statement shared on Instagram announcing the tour, CruCast wrote:

"As CruClash has grown and marks its 1-year anniversary, we've seen the messages, heard the conversations, and felt the expectation that we should address a few things directly.

"We’re sorry that the concept meant having grassroots venues pack out their dance floors.

"We’re sorry for launching face-to-face DJ battles and creating a whole new level of energy in your favourite b2bs.

"We’re sorry for helping you discover your new favourite emerging artist.

"We’re sorry for pushing a multi-genre experience… we just like a little bit of everything.

"And yes, we're sorry for keeping our CruClash lineups secret… I mean, the best things are kept secret, right?

"But honestly, sorry not sorry!

"Thanks to everyone who’s joined us, danced, and made CruClash what it is – here’s to another year of music, energy, and unapologetic fun.

"Let’s keep the culture alive…”

CruClash sees DJs go head-to-head in fast-paced, face-to-face sets, encouraging spontaneity, risk-taking and crowd-driven energy. The concept has already proven popular at shows in Leeds and Nottingham, where surprise match-ups and secret line-ups have become part of the appeal.

The newly announced tour dates will see CruClash hit Unit 13 in Nottingham (31 January), Lab11 in Birmingham (21 February), The Warehouse in Leeds (13 March), Unlocked in London (4 April), and Tank in Sheffield (8 May), with each stop promising a fresh set of clashes and unannounced pairings.
