London-based band Palace has announced a six-date UK tour set to take place at the end of this year. The tour kicks off on November 21 in Glasgow and includes stops in Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, and Birmingham. The tour concludes with the band’s biggest headline show to date at London’s Eventim Apollo on November 30. Tickets will be available for purchase from Friday, March 1 at 10:00 am GMT. Pre-sale options can also be found on the band’s official website.
The tour follows the band’s recent intimate headline show at London’s EartH, where they played their forthcoming new album, “Ultrasound”, in full for the crowd. The album marks Palace’s fourth studio release and is set to be one of their most personal albums yet. Frontman Leo Wyndham explores his own struggle with grief and mourning after his partner suffered a late miscarriage.
“It was incredibly hard to comprehend what had happened, how to deal with it and how to move forward,” he said of his experience. “The album is the journey of that experience – starting with a loss, then a period of processing, and then finally acceptance, release and growth. And being in awe of women within that. Their dignity, strength, and courage in how they can deal with these things that feel beyond a man.”
“Ultrasound” is set for release on April 5, preceded by the lead single “Bleach”, which Palace has shared with fans. The new album follows Palace’s 2022 release “Shoals”. Speaking about the making of the album, Wyndham said, “We’ve ended up with something very layered, deep and intense. I hope that people can connect with it in that sense, with their own experiences of confronting those fears and anxieties.”
Aside from the UK shows, Palace has multiple headline slots lined up across Europe. The tour begins in Paris on October 29 and includes shows in Germany, Poland, Austria, and Denmark. A full list of European tour dates and remaining tickets are available for purchase on the Palace website
