Hot on the heels of a triumphant UK tour and sold-out show at London’s Roundhouse, Car Seat Headrest has announced a live return to the UK in November for his biggest headline shows to date. The four-date run will see the band performing in Cardiff, Nottingham and Manchester, culminating in a headline show at London’s O2 Brixton Academy on November 8, before continuing to further European dates. Tickets go on sale Thursday, 31st May, at 11am GMT.
In bringing the expansive and accomplished sound of critically acclaimed new album Twin Fantasy – a re-recorded, re-imagined version of Car Seat Headrest’s 2011 classic – to the stage, the band has expanded to a seven-piece, featuring two drummers, three guitarists, a bassist, and Will Toledo confidently stepping into center stage as frontman. The augmented lineup was recently showcased in a performance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon of single ‘Bodys’ (playlisted by BBC 6 Music). Watch the electrifying, Questlove—endorsed performance HERE, complete with Toledo live-narrating the shortened-for-TV song structure.
The journey made by Car Seat Headrest, aka Virginia native and Seattle resident Will Toledo, has seen him go from humble bedroom beginnings to universally hailed albums, thousands-strong capacity venues worldwide, the upper echelons of festival bills, sessions for BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music, and appearances on US national late night TV for Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. The new UK dates present an opportunity to witness the continued ascent of one of the most gifted and mercurial songwriters of his generation.
