Lady Blackbird Announces Four Special Jan/Feb 2025 UK Shows

by | Sep 23, 2024

Following the recent release of her stellar new studio album Slang Spirituals as well as a run of UK arena shows supporting Moby, Lady Blackbird has announced her own special UK headline shows in January and February 2025. The four shows will see her performing in Bristol, Glasgow & Manchester, as well as a special night in the capital at the London Palladium on 29th January.

Collaborating once again with Black Acid Soul producer Chris Seefried, the pair produce a second album that not only embodies the freewheeling, emotive Lady Blackbird sound, but that also taps into deeply vulnerable lyrics that recount the singer’s challenging ascent to musical stardom.

“Once I entered my teenage years, I started to realise that religion was something that was put on me and it never felt right,” Lady Blackbird says. “As I also began to develop my own identity as a queer woman, I felt judged as an outcast and labelled as a sinner. It was burying who I really was and I needed to find a way out.”

In taking charge of her own life and her own sound, Lady Blackbird walks a new path, making each note on Slang Spirituals a step in a radically different direction. Across the LP’s 11 tracks, she puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the finger-picking folk storytelling of Man On A Boat, euphoric gospel empowerment of Like A Woman and the seven-minute avant soul instrumentation of When The Game Is Played On You.

Lady Blackbird’s debut album Black Acid Soul garnered 5* reviews and won unanimous praise across UK media. She’s dazzled the likes of London’s Union Chapel, The Barbican, KOKO, & Shepherds Bush Empire, as well as supported Gregory Porter on his UK tour and won International Artist of the Year at the Jazz FM Awards. Without doubt, her appearance on a star studded Graham Norton show had the country captivated and Taylor Swift lost for superlatives, watch HERE.

Performing tracks from the new record, these are shows that are not to be missed.

Avalanche Party Bring Their ‘Dream…’ Post-Punk Show To Portsmouth

Mother Mother Announce New Album ‘Nostalgia’ And Announce Brixton Headline Show

Himalayas (Andy Ford)

HIMALAYAS Drop Latest Single ‘Surrender’

HIMALAYAS have released their new single Surrender, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming album BAD STAR out April 25th via Nettwerk Music Group. Surrender is a foreboding cavernous rock track which examines uncritical loyalty to individuals and organisations, and the willingness to blindly accept anything they say. It also speaks to the inability to see why others may think differently, leading to further division instead of cooperation to achieve a common goal.
