STILL SMITTEN UK & IRELAND TOUR // OCTOBER
New cities. Old flames. Still smitten. PALE WAVES have announced their return to the road this October with the Still Smitten tour, a run of dates that takes the band beyond the usual circuit and deep into the hearts of the UK and Ireland.
Kicking off in Sunderland and wrapping up in Cork, the tour sees the Manchester alt-pop outfit bringing their signature heart-on-sleeve sound to a handpicked set of towns and cities that don’t always get the spotlight but absolutely deserve the attention. Fans can expect a show that’s raw, romantic and unapologetically Pale Waves.
Singer Heather Baron-Gracie explains:
“We’re so excited to announce our new tour – and this time we’re heading to places across the UK and Ireland that often get overlooked. These aren’t your typical tour stops but that’s exactly why we chose them. We wanted to bring the show to places that deserve more love; those underrated spots that are full of character and loyal fans we’ve been aching to play for.”
From Wrexham to Dublin, Stoke to Southampton, Pale Waves are leaning into the intimacy of the road and turning up the volume for those fans that have been waiting patiently in the wings. The tour also includes a much anticipated hometown show in Manchester and fans can expect to hear new music.
And as for Scotland? Pale Waves have announced they will headline Glasgow Barrowland as part of the one day Tenement Trail Festival. Tickets available here: https://www.tenementtrail.com/
The Still Smitten tour follows the band’s acclaimed Top 10 album Smitten, a record that pushed their emotional and sonic boundaries further than ever before earning them critical praise and deepening the connection with their fans.
“This isn’t about the biggest venues,” says Heather, “it’s about the biggest feelings.”
