In addition, Hawley has confirmed that he and his band will play a string of special shows alongside a string section where the album will be played in full for the first time.
The first show will take place on July 5 at the Museum Gardens in York and that will be followed by performances in Portmeirion Village in Wales, and then Blackpool, Margate, Boston, Weston-Super-Mare and Worthing. The latter dates will be in September and October, with exact dates to be confirmed in the coming days.
Hawley’s most recent album was 2024’s ‘In This City They Call You Love’. In a four-star review, NME said: “‘In This City They Call You Love’ doesn’t falter for its lack of invention; there is just a feeling that these sonic quirks can be pushed even further, made even bolder. But as the soulful, breathtaking inner-city vignette ‘People’ shows, he clearly remains focused on the next great song he hasn’t written yet.”
