Happy to Welcome Evan Peters as support on our up and coming dates in April and June. 🙌🙏🔥Evan Peters
On Tour with Big Country
April/June 2026

Following on from Big Country’s guest appearance at The Alarm’s Gathering weekend earlier this year at Cardiff Great Hall, Evan Peters is announced as Support on the forthcoming Big Country Tour
(April & June 2026)

Evan Peters aged 19 is the youngest son of Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm.

Mike sadly passed away on April 29th last year, after receiving a shock diagnosis of Richters Syndrome, (a rare and aggressive lymphoma), on the eve of a two month American Alarm Tour.

Mike Peters became the lead singer of Big Country between 2011 and 2013, after Stuart Adamson’s untimely passing and so Evan grew up travelling to Big Country shows across the UK and USA.
Evan first toured with Big Country in the USA in 2013, aged six, travelling on the tour bus and choosing ’Stay Alive’ as his Big Country anthem.

Upon the tragic passing of Evan’s own dad almost one year ago, Evan immersed himself in The Alarm songbook and his favourite Big Country songs.
In December 2025 Evan joined Big Country on stage at Manchester Academy to perform ‘Chance’ with the band and a couple of months later, Big Country joined Evan on stage at The Alarm’s "The Gathering' in Cardiff, Wales to perform ‘Chance' and 'In a Big Country’.

Last year, Mike met with Bruce Watson at The Red, Dyserth, the village pub owned by The Peters Family.
Sat outside The Red, Bruce and Mike made a pact to tour together as The Alarm and Big County, once Mike had got through to the other side, after pioneering Car-T Therapy at the Christie Hospital in Manchester.

Sadly, Mike passed away on April 29th last year in 2025 after a valiant and well lived life, living with blood cancer for 31 years.

It is a fitting testament to the relationship between Big Country and The Alarm that Evan now carries the torch and flies the flag to honour and celebrate the special legacy between Big Country and The Alarm.

Evan explains “I grew up on the songs of Big Country and The Alarm. It’s in my DNA. I remember my Dad driving me and my brother Dylan all the way to Killarney, Ireland from Wales and we made him play ’Stay Alive; on repeat all the way there!
So for me it’s a fantastic feeling to get up on stage with Big Country and play alongside Bruce and Jamie especially as when I was six I used to wake up on the tour bus with them in America!”
Reflecting on the last time Bruce and Mike met up at The Red in Dyserth, Evan says "I hope we get the chance to play ‘Angels and Promises’ from the Big Country album ’The Journey’. Dad and Bruce were planning to perform these songs together in the future so I’m looking forward to exploring this further."

Thanks to Big Country for giving me this opportunity. I’m looking forward to meeting up with all the Big Country fans some of whom I’ve known since I was very young. My first ever Big Country Gig was New Years Eve in Glasgow, a gig I’ll always remember as dad drove us back to our apartment on the east coast of Scotland after the show and the fireworks were exploding overhead. I hope we will do my Dad proud who we miss every day. Hopefully he will be watching down on us. Dad taught me all I know and I’m determined to honour his dying wishes for me to continue playing his songs. Stay Alive”

Current touring band Big Country to change name to Current touring band Big Country to change name to Big Country Redux Big Country’s co-founder and longest-serving band member, Bruce Watson, has announced that as of 1st January 2026 the band will move forward under the name "Big Country Redux". 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the passing of songwriter, frontman, and co-founder Stuart Adamson, the launch of a new website devoted to Adamson, and the forthcoming publication of the authorised biography, Stay Alive. A Stuart Adamson documentary is also in production. For Bruce, it felt like the right moment to clearly define his musical future. “Stuart’s words, music, and presence were at the very heart of Big Country. Without him, it can never truly be what it once was. Big Country Redux allows us to acknowledge that, while still performing the music we created as Big Country. It brings clarity, draws a line under recent uncertainty, and it is the right thing to do at this stage.” The name Redux, meaning “revived/restored,” reflects the music and its enduring impact. An upcoming album including songs written by Stuart, and Stuart co-writes with Bruce and Tony will be released under the same name.
