Finn Wolfhard announces details of 2025 UK and European tour

Finn Wolfhard has announced details of his 2025 UK and European tour.

Titled Objection!, it is in support of the 21-year-old Stranger Things actor’s debut solo album Happy Birthday.

Finn, who previously fronted the bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys, released the album in June, accompanied by the nostalgic lead single Choose The Latter and the reflective track Trailers After Dark.

He will kick off the Objection! tour on 4 October with a show at La Maroquinerie in Paris, before continuing through Berlin, Manchester and Dublin.

The run will conclude with a headline performance at London’s Electric Brixton on 16 October.

Speaking to NME earlier this year, Finn reflected on the creative process behind the album and credited his Stranger Things co-stars Joe Keery and Maya Hawke as key musical influences.

He said: “(Joe) was a gigantic inspiration to me and another mentor.

“While filming, Joe and Maya were part of a fun group chat challenge where they would both write and submit a song every week.

“And I still text Joe to ask him what he thinks about song ideas. I’m hoping we can make music together – even if I wasn’t credited.”

Joe, 32, who plays Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, performs under the moniker Djo and released his third album The Crux in 2023.

Finn joined Joe on stage in Toronto earlier this year for a live performance of Flash Mountain, a track from Djo’s 2019 debut album Twenty Twenty.

The actor’s tour news arrives alongside the continued expansion of the Stranger Things franchise.

A new animated spin-off, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, is in production at Netflix.

The show is being executive-produced by Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer, alongside Shawn Levy, 55, who directed Deadpool and Wolverine.

No casting or plot details have yet been confirmed.

In a statement to Netflix’s Tudum, the Duffer brothers said: “We’ve always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving, and to see this dream realised has been absolutely thrilling.”

They continued: “We couldn’t be more blown away by what Eric Robles and his team have come up with – the scripts and artwork are incredible, and we can’t wait to share more with you! The adventure continues… .”
