Declan McKenna recently sold out all 16 dates on his 2022 US tour and today he announces the extensive 50+ date “The Big Return” tour of North America. Said McKenna about the upcoming tour, “buzzing to get this new era underway all across North America this year! We’ll be weaving in some new material on the tour that I’m more than ready to show everyone. Expect Big, Expect my Return.”
McKenna will perform in cities including Washington D.C., Seattle, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, NYC, Nashville, Atlanta, and more (full dates below) between late May and early November. The tour will kick off on May 25th at Montreal’s Corona Theatre and feature support by Oracle Sisters, Eli Smart, Allie Crow Buckley. Tickets for this tour will go on sale to the general public here on Friday, March 17th at 10am local time. Tickets will also be available via artist presale on Tuesday, Mar 14th at 10am local and Spotify pre-sale on Wednesday, Mar 15 at 10am local here.
Since finishing his tour last year cKenna has been working with producer Gianluca Buccellati in LA and in his hometown of Brighton, UK, on the follow up to Zeros. Of Zeros, Pitchfork said “nodding to Bowie and the Beates on songs about climate change and capitalism, the songwriter roots his political critique in the rich tradition of British protest rock.” Zeros, produced by Jay Joyce with mixing b Spike Stent, is available for purchase on all formats here. He also shared his single “My House,” which features vocals from Rostam and was co-produced by McKenna and Neil Comber(whose credits include MIA, Charlie XCX, and Florence + The Machine), and it is streaming now HERE.
