Lucy Dacus has announced her first-ever UK and European solo shows this Spring. She plays Union Chapel in London and CCA in Glasgow on May 1 and 4, respectively, alongside further European dates. Returning to the UK following a sold-out performance at EartH in June, the dates are an opportunity to see one of today’s most captivating and fast-rising singer-songwriters in an unmediated, intimate setting.

The Richmond, VA artist recently added another vital entry to her ever-growing oeuvre with 2019, a dazzling collection of original and cover songs inspired by holidays and notable dates of the year. The EP was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork calling the songs “among the best she’s ever written”.

The end of the year saw Dacus’ latest album Historian appear in Best Of The Decade lists by Rolling Stone, NPR, Stereogum, Consequence Of Sound and others, alongside making her inaugural performance on Austin City Limits, and being brought on stage by Lana Del Ray for a joint rendition of her song ‘Night Shift’.

A full list of upcoming dates can be found below.                                                         

Tour Dates:

Fri May 1 - London, United Kingdom @ Union Chapel

Mon May 4 - Glasgow, United Kingdom @ CCA

Tue May 5 - Belfast, Ireland @ The Limelight 2

Wed May 6 - Dublin, Ireland @ Button Factory

Thundering full-throttle from supporting Iggy Pop, sell-out European shows, agitpop protesters Asylums are not letting up for a second.  The Southend based alt-rock band return with new single ‘Catalogue Kids’; a call to arms anthem for a disenfranchised youth and adults alike.

Frontman Luke Branch says "‘Catalogue Kids’ is the thematic microcosm to our new album. I became a father during the writing and recording of the album, as I contemplated this awesome new responsibility the country seemed to be in a state of complete chaos and disorder both politically and socially. It left me with some big existential questions both in my interior world and the wider exterior world, you can feel some of that in ‘Catalogue Kids’".

Asylums have had an incredible 12 months. As recent recipients of the prestigious and hard-to-score PRS Momentum Fund, their next leap forward seems gilded, greased, and good-to-go. In the privacy of a world-class studio with legendary recording engineer and sound alchemist Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies), Asylums are currently putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming third album and are uniquely primed for 2020.
