Roxy Music remain a touchstone for art rock fans worldwide, and that includes the growing community in Germany. In 2026, the dedicated fan convention for the band is confirmed to return, with a full day event at Dingwalls in London on May 23, 2026, according to a blog announcement on Bryan Ferry’s official site.
Fan convention confirmed for May 23, 2026
The next edition of the Roxy Music convention is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026 at Dingwalls, the long-running live venue in Camden, London, as outlined in the fan-organized event notice on Bryan Ferry’s official website.Bryan Ferry official announcement
The convention has previously taken place in cities such as Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow, and the move to London reflects the band’s enduring draw in the UK capital’s club culture. For German-based fans, London’s flight connections from cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Frankfurt make Dingwalls a realistically reachable venue for a weekend trip.
What the 2026 convention offers fans
The 2026 edition is set up as a fan-organized gathering rather than an official band event, with the program split into two parts that include live music, a disco, guest speakers and memorabilia displays at Dingwalls.Convention program details
Because the event is explicitly described as “organized for fans by fans” and not directly associated with Bryan Ferry or other Roxy Music members, attendees can expect a grassroots atmosphere centered on shared listening, collecting and discussion rather than a formal band performance. Against this backdrop, the convention works as a social hub for listeners who discovered Roxy Music through classic albums or through more recent coverage of their influence.

Where Roxy Music’s work stands today
Roxy Music emerged in the early 1970s from London’s art-school scene, combining glam rock, avant-garde textures and sophisticated pop songwriting led by Bryan Ferry’s distinct vocals. Albums such as Roxy Music (1972), For Your Pleasure (1973) and Stranded (1973) pushed studio experimentation, while later releases like Avalon (1982) added a smoother, atmospheric sheen that remains influential for modern alternative and pop acts.
Current status and next fan event
The band concluded a 50th anniversary arena tour in 2022 and have no announced official tour dates as of early September 2026, but the confirmed fan convention at Dingwalls in London on May 23, 2026 offers the next organized gathering for Roxy Music enthusiasts.
