Gary Neville is set to join The Reytons as part of their upcoming 2025 UK tour.
The news comes as the chart-topping indie band are set to hit the road for a number of shows across the UK and Ireland next year.
According to a new update from the band, bassist Lee Holland will be temporarily sitting out of the shows due to an injury, and in his place for the gigs will be former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville.
The shows kick off on February 7 with an opening night at the recently reopened O2 Academy in Brixton, followed by a stop at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth the following night (8).
From there, gigs are scheduled for Blackpool and Newcastle, before the Rotherham four-piece make a rare visit to Ireland, playing shows in Dublin and Belfast. The dates wrap up with a penultimate show at Manchester’s Aviva Studios on March 8, followed by a final show at Glasgow’s SWG3 GalvanisersYard on July 19.
Tickets for all dates go on sale this Friday (September 20) at 10am BST and can be purchased here.
Exclusive pre-sale access is also available to fans who pre-order The Reyton’s latest live album, which was recorded at their huge Clifton Park show earlier this year. Find a full list of 2025 tour dates below.

The shows across the UK and Ireland come on the heels of the band’s recent performance at a landmark show at their hometown’s Clifton Park.
It marked their biggest headline gig to date, selling out the venue and playing in front of 20,000 fans in July.
It also comes as the band shared their chart-topping album ‘What’s Rock And Roll?’ in 2023, and narrowly missed out on the top spot with their latest album ‘Ballad of a Bystander’, which arrived in January.
More recently, they were among artists like Courteeners, English Teacher and Louis Tomlinson who were the first acts to be honoured at the first-ever Northern Music Awards.
They were presented on the night with the Disruptor Award, and Neville also made an appearance at the event as a guest presenter.
He awarded Courteeners with the Band Of The Year prize, and responding to the nod, Fray said: “It’s really nice to be in a room with this much talent… but this isn’t about us, it’s about Nordoff And Robbins and the work that they do, it’s about music, and the way they’re changing lives with music and sometimes even saving lives with music.”
Earlier this year, Gary Neville spoke about making his DJ debut at Kendal Calling with Tim Burgess. He performed at the festival at Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District for the first time on August 4 under the alias G-Dog.
