Kae Tempest announces UK and EU tour ahead of fifth album ‘Self Titled’

Kae Tempest has announced a headline tour around the UK and Europe later this year. The news comes just ahead of the release of his brand new fifth album, ‘Self Titled’, due on 4th July via Island Records. 

Tempest will hit the road for his tour this Autumn, beginning with a show in Brussels on the 12th October. The acclaimed artist will then visit venues in the likes of Lisbon, Rome and Berlin before heading back to the UK. 

Tempest will then stop off in London, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Dublin throughout November. The headline shows include a career highlight stop at Brixton’s O2 Academy, and support will come from newcomer folk musician, Jacob Alon. 

Last week, the poet, author and musician officially announced his fifth studio album, ‘Self Titled’ - the follow up to 2022’s ‘The Line Is A Curve’. The new record promises to explore Kae’s inner self, both as an artist and as a person. 

The multi-talented artist worked with Grammy winning producer Fraser T Smith on the record, which also features guest appearances from the likes of Neil Tennant, Young Fathers, Connie Constance, and Tawiah.
