Ben Khan cancels UK and European tour

Ben Khan has cancelled upcoming UK and European dates, stating that he’s taking time away from the live environment to focus on his debut album.

Khan, who has two EPs to his name, was set to play a run of shows in September and October, including a headline night at London’s Oval Space. He’s recently played a run of festival dates, including Latitude Festival.

In a statement, he says: “I’m afraid I have made the very difficult decision to cancel the shows. I’m working on my debut full length release and need to give it my sole focus to ensure I realise my vision for it.”

Festival appearances are unaffected - he’ll still appear at Lowlands (21st August), Reading & Leeds (28th-30th August) and Electric Picnic (5th September).

Last week saw Khan releasing a new demo, ‘Blade (Tidal Wave of Love)’. Listen below the affected dates.
