Perfume Genius has shared details of a new UK tour, set to take place later this year. Find ticket details below.
The new dates come following Perfume Genius – real name Mike Hadreas – dropping his new album ‘Glory’ via Matador today (March 28).
It marks his seventh LP, and the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Ugly Season’. Produced by longtime collaborator Blake Mills, the 11-track album deals with the “back and forth between internal and external” and was previewed with singles ‘Clean Heart’, ‘No Front Teeth (feat. Aldous Harding),’ and ‘It’s a Mirror’.
Now, to celebrate the release, Hadreas has shared details of four new UK shows, all taking place this November. They kick off with a show at the Saint Luke’s venue in Glasgow on November 8, and continue the following night with a stop at the Project House in Leeds.
From there, a show at The Roundhouse in London is planned for November 11, as is a final night at the Trinity Centre in Bristol the night after (12).
Tickets go on sale next Friday (April 4) and will be available to buy here. Pre-sale options commence from next Tuesday (April 1) and you can sign up for access to that here. Check below for the newly announced UK dates.

Earlier this month, Hadreas spoke to NME about the inspiration behind ‘Glory’, as well as describing how those in the music industry need to ensure their own wellbeing when in the spotlight.
“I think one of the things that makes me shy in my daily life is that I’m not gonna be taken seriously because I’m little or have a different way of communicating,” he said looking at the lyrics to ‘It’s A Mirror’.
“I was thinking how there’s no way that I’m gonna talk to a neighbour; it would just be too anxiety-producing. And yet I play shows and sing in front of people and I’m not terrified of that anymore,” he added. “I’ve felt a sense of purpose about the job that’s made me work on that. I’ve been really serious about [my music] and been rewarded by the fact that people are taking it seriously.”
