NILÜFER YANYA ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN, UK AND
NORTH AMERICAN TOURS
Following the release of her first new single in two years with the drop of “Like I Say (I runaway),” which received support from NME, The Fader, Line of Best Fit, The Face, Dork, Clash and more, Nilüfer Yanya announces a North American, European and UK tour set for this autumn. Launching in September, Yanya will take her catalogue on the road with live dates across North America before kicking off the EU and UK legs of the tour in November with stops in Brighton, Bristol, London, Nottingham and Manchester. Tickets will be available for sale this Friday at 10am here.
“Like I Say (I runaway)” is a glowing example of Yanya’s singular artistic voice and serves as a first taste of more music to come soon. The song was written in collaboration with Yanya’s creative partner, Wilma Archer (Sudan Archives, MF DOOM, Celeste), with whom she’s previously collaborated on PAINLESS and her debut album Miss Universe. Throughout their creative process, a clear emphasis was placed on forming a safe musical space where creative impulses were encouraged and all perceived musical boundaries were eroded.
Nilüfer’s previous album ‘PAINLESS’ has consistently been celebrated as one of 2022’s most outstanding albums, with glowing reviews from the likes of The Guardian (album of the week), The Sunday Times, Crack Magazine, NME and more. She’s supported Adele, the XX and Mitski on tour, headlining London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire and selling out shows across Europe, Australia, Japan and the USA. Yanya has also been remixed by Sampha, King Krule and Little Dragon and has collaborated with Bombay Bicycle Club and Liss.
