FOLLOWING A SOLD OUT UK TOUR, PALACE ANNOUNCE MARCH & APRIL EUROPE / UK TOUR THAT WILL CULMINATE AT SHEPHERD’S BUSH EMPIRE ON 27TH
Watch the video for current single ‘It’s Over’ here:
PALACE’s first show of 2016 was at the ICA, and, just like their previous show at Scala, sold out at speed. They have just finished a SOLD OUT headline UK tour that included Brixton Electric in London. They are now thrilled to announce a March and April Europe / UK tour that will culminate at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on the 27th.
It’s been a whirlwind year for Palace, whose live success isn’t just retained in the UK; they have sold out shows across Europe and in New York. They spent the summer playing festivals across Europe, including rapturously received appearances at Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds.
And now, Palace have just released their dark, enchanting debut album ‘So Long Forever’. It is your cordial invite to Palace, this generation’s most moving evolution in alt-rock. They sing of heartbreak, family ructions, death and diving headfirst into relationships they know will destroy them. They make sumptuous, soulful rock music in a dour ex-munitions factory. They’re the fatalistic sound of the future.
It all adds up to a stirring, fine-crafted journey around the heart’s bruised chambers, and has been a cathartic turning point for front man Leo Wyndham, who recently went through a painful break up. “I now have this sense of freedom, creatively,” he says."When you suddenly find yourself on your own again out of a long relationship. It's nice to be able to channel everything into the music. It helps a lot." He grins. "I'm trying to be positive."
