Michael Kiwanuka is very pleased to share details of a European/UK headline tour for Spring 2025.
The 12-date run will be Michael’s first headline dates in the UK/Europe since 2022, and the first opportunity to hear tracks from his forthcoming fourth album, Small Changes. The dates will include March dates in Wolverhampton, London’s Eventim Apollo, Edinburgh, concluding on 13th March at the O2 Apollo in Manchester.
Tickets for the tour go on general sale from Friday 11th October. Fans who pre-order the record through Michael’s website from now (3rd Oct) through to 5pm on Tuesday 8th October will receive early access to tickets to all dates from 10am on Wednesday 9th October, ahead of general sale.
Small Changes is released on 15th November through Polydor Records. A third preview of the record is shared today in new track, “The Rest Of Me” – streaming now, and with a beautifully shot video by Yout – watch here
Driving conversations between producer Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and Michael about the direction of the album and particularly The Rest Of Me, the album’s penultimate track, was the desire to make an album that transcends any notion of what is or isn’t deemed “cool”. He recalls, “We were trying to shoot for something that might have made it onto a Bill Withers album or a Sadé album.” Indeed, Sadé is the case in point on this new track, as Michael remembers afternoons as a child in the back of his aunt’s car, “where Diamond Life was rarely out of the tape machine.”
