Palace to support Jamie T on European tour
London newcomers Palace are thrilled to be supporting Jamie T on his European tour this February. The four-piece had previously supported him at his London comeback show in August. Palace recently announced a London headline show at Shoreditch’s Red Gallery on 9th April, as well as being confirmed for Dutch festivals Eurosonic and Where The Wild Things Are.
Palace were hand-picked by Jamie T to support him at his London comeback show in August before releasing their debut Lost In The Night EP late October via tastemaker label Beatnik Creative. What happened inbetween saw the act ride a wave of overwhelming critical and fan support and found themselves rightly billed as ‘ones to watch.’
They had daytime spins on BBC Radio 1, a ‘Next Hype’ from Zane Lowe, repeat plays from Huw Stephens, found fans with 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne and XFM’s John Kennedy and sold-out their two debut headline shows at St. Pancras Old Church, all before heading out on their first UK tour. They recently recorded a session with Huw Stephens which airs early January.

“Layered in warm guitars and brooding melodies, Palace’s debut TP has the ability to both soothe and sting. Lead singer Leo Wyndham’s aching vocals add to a blues-tinged, dreamy atmosphere that slowly expands into a more raw, spiky sound. The newcomers supported Jamie T at his recent sold-out London show – expect things from them.” – Shortlist
“A heady piece of subtly anthemic guitar rock.” – Wonderland
