Leaders of the lo-fi revolution and Grammy award-winners They Might Be Giants are extending and expanding their 2023 UK tour with new dates in Southampton, Cambridge, Glasgow, Newcastle, Belfast & Dublin, as well as an additional London show at Shepherds Bush Empire.

On the heels of a sold-out 70+ date US tour, it’s no big surprise that ticket sales have been equally brisk with their London Roundhouse show & Leeds, Bristol and Manchester dates selling out immediately. In recent months, the band’s show has grown with its draw — their long-standing five-piece live group has been joined by a phenomenal three-piece horn section.

Guaranteed to delight all from the newest converts to long-time stans, TMBG’s high-velocity show is filled with melody, improvisation, and spontaneous crowd interaction. The song selection spans early favourites to songs from their new, Grammy-nominated album BOOK, and spotlights their breakthrough album Flood.

And best of all, there’s no opener! They Might Be Giants’ performance starts approximately one hour after doors open.

NEW DATES!

3/11 Southampton, UK @ Guildhall
4/11 Cambridge, UK @ Cambridge Junction
5/11 London, UK @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire
7/11 Glasgow, UK @ SWG3
8/11 Newcastle, UK @ Boilershop
10/11 Belfast, UK @ Mandela Hall
11/11 Dublin, IE @ Vicar Street

Highly acclaimed and much-loved singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and South London native Jessica Wilde kicks of her 2024 by joining forces with the incredible Josh Barry for a soulful Valentine’s Day release ‘Love Like This’, out 14^th February.

Packed with soaring emotions and infused with smoky orchestral atmospheres, ‘Love Like This’ is a striking nu-soul gem which will be released on Wilde’s forthcoming album and follows her recent singles ‘Freak Out’ and ‘Feathers’ ft. Zoe Kypri. The two 2023 singles saw her pick up many spins on BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1 Introducing with Jess Iszatt, John Kennedy’s X-Posure Daily on Radio X, playlist support across the board from Spotify, Apple, Youtube and Tidal amongst other acclaim. Josh Barry has also been picking up serious heat, recently featuring with Rudimental and Sigma, collaborating with Nile Rogers and opening for Rag ‘N’ Bone Man on tour. Josh Barry brings a dynamic force to the collab as he embodies the spirit of legendary icons like James Brown and Jimi Hendrix.

On ‘Love Like This’, Wilde explains, “When we got in the studio, the song basically wrote itself, we wanted to capture that raw soulful essence in our husky tones, and a nostalgic feeling of those classic Marvin Gaye love songs but with a 2024 flip.”

As the dreamy, smooth track escalates, Wilde and Barry’s yearning vocals entwine with epic effect as the pair find the ‘Love Like This’ that they have been searching and waiting for. The release comes with a Valentine’s launch show at the iconic ‘The Bedford’ and a 6-part Instagram & TikTok reel series, released every other day from 16^th February, which everyone should tune into to see Wilde and Barry explore the track’s steamy and romantic themes in more depth through nostalgic aesthetics.

2024 looks set to be an exciting new year for Wilde. With her album on the horizon, she has been gaining growing support from not only BBC Radio 1 but also 6 Music, BBC Radio London, KISS, editorial playlist support across DSPs, as well as features in CLASH, Complex, Wonderland, The Independent and many more.
