US indie rock band Rilo Kiley announce first UK shows in 19 years

Los Angeles indie rock band Rilo Kiley have announced plans for their first UK appearance in 19 years. 

The band - made up of Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennett, Jason Boesel, and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder - reunited earlier this year to play a slew of US headline shows, after rekindling their friendship during a backyard barbecue. “It couldn’t have happened any sooner,” Jenny Lewis said. “It feels like now is the time to share that joy and love with each other and with everyone else.” Blake Sennett adds, “For some people, Rilo Kiley evokes a formative, emotional time in life… reconnecting with those people is paramount to anything else.”

Now, with 21 shows already under their belt, the quartet are planning to return to London for a show at The Roundhouse, which is set to take place on 2nd June 2026, before making a second appearance at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 3rd June, thanks to unprecedented demand. While tickets for their Roundhouse show are now sold out, there are some left for their second headline set.

Their final official release came in the form of their 2013 compilation album, ‘Rkives’.
