Denver outfit DeVotchKa have announced a special five-date UK tour for October 2026, marking 20 years since the release of the beloved indie film Little Miss Sunshine.
DeVotchKa
Titled A Celebration of the Music from Little Miss Sunshine, the tour will see the band perform music from their GRAMMY®-nominated soundtrack and score for the 2006 classic, alongside additional fan favourites from their catalogue.
Originally brought on board after directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris discovered the band’s evocative sound on a Santa Monica radio station, DeVotchKa’s cinematic, orchestral style became the emotional core of the film. Their sweeping arrangements and bittersweet melodies perfectly underscored the Hoover family’s offbeat cross-country journey, helping to cement the film’s enduring legacy.
Tracks such as Til The End Of Time and How It Ends quickly transcended their on-screen origins, becoming defining moments of mid-2000s indie culture. The soundtrack earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album, while the film itself went on to win two Academy Awards.
Two decades on, the band return to the UK to revisit the music that helped introduce their lush, genre-blurring sound to a global audience. The anniversary shows promise a celebration not only of a landmark soundtrack, but of a collaboration that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
