Conor Oberst announces a string of UK tour dates

In August, Conor Oberst will be playing at Green Man Festival and he’s now just announced a short run of UK tour dates to coincide with his appearance in the Brecon Beacons. Conor will be playing three dates, kicking off on 18th August at London’s KOKO before heading to the O2 Academy in Liverpool on the 21st and rounding off at Glasgow’s ABC on the 22nd. Tickets go on sale from 24th February at 9am. Recently, Conor announced plans to release a new album ‘Salutations’, which is set to feature reworked, full band versions of songs from last year’s LP ‘Ruminations’ alongside seven new tracks. It’ll also feature guest spots from the likes of Gillian Welch and M Ward. Conor has just shared a new video for ‘Til’ St. Dymphna Kicks Us Out’ and yep, it’s a drinking song! So naturally we’re headed to the bar for a right old knees up, most of whom are pretty intense and grubby looking. Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from The Magnetic Fields’ Stephin Merritt too! Watch the video for ‘A Little Uncanny’ and see Conor’s upcoming tour dates below. AUGUST 18 London, KOKO 21 Liverpool, O2 Academy 22 Glasgow, O2 ABC
