Brief answer
- The Rapture has had reunions and touring activity in the mid-2020s, including a 2025–present phase with lineup changes and a tour that began in September 2025, marking their first major headlining activity in years [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
Background and context
- The band’s status has been intermittent since their 2010s activity, with reports of a breakup or hiatus around 2014 in some outlets, followed by later reunions and touring, including a 2019 revival and a 2025 reunion and tour plan that included a North American leg and European dates [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
- In mid-2025, multiple outlets reported a second reunion or renewed activity for The Rapture, with coverage noting changes in lineup for the upcoming shows and a commitment to touring through the fall of 2025 [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
What this might mean for fans in London
- If you’re in London, you’d want to watch for European dates announced in late 2025 or 2026, as the band has historically rotated members and occasionally played select European cities in conjunction with North American tours [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
- Check official channels (band social media, DFA label notices, major music press) closer to fall 2026 for any intercontinental shows or festival appearances [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
Illustrative example
- A typical tour pattern for bands in this situation includes a North American leg followed by European dates in major capitals and festival appearances; The Rapture followed a similar pattern in 2025, suggesting London could host a headline date or festival slot if the schedule holds [cite sources after each sentence in the full answer].
