Chvrches release new single, announce UK tour dates
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 13 July 2021
Chvrches have released new single ‘Good Girls’ – the latest from their upcoming new album ‘Screen Violence’. They’ve also announced 2022 UK tour dates.
“The opening line – ‘killing your idols is a chore’ – was something I wrote after listening to some friends arguing about the present day implications of loving certain problematic male artists”, says vocalist Lauren Mayberry. “I was struck by the lengths that people would go to in order to excuse their heroes and how that was so juxtaposed to my own experiences in the world”.
“Women have to constantly justify their right to exist and negotiate for their own space”, she continues. “We’re told that Bad Things don’t happen to Good Girls. That if you curate yourself to fit the ideal – keep yourself small and safe and acceptable – you will be alright, and it’s just not fucking true”.
The band have also announced details of a UK tour in March next year. Tickets will go on general sale on 23 Jul, with fans who pre-order ‘Screen Violence’ from the Chvrches website by 4pm on 20 Jul getting access to a pre-sale on 21 Jul.
Here are the dates:
14 Mar: Edinburgh, Corn Exchange
15 Mar: Newcastle, City Hall
16 Mar: London, Brixton Academy
18 Mar: Birmingham, Academy
19 Mar: Manchester, Apollo
‘Screen Violence’ is out on 27 Aug. Listen to ‘Good Girls’ here:
