Friendly Fires announce UK live shows
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 17 October 2018
Friendly Fires have announced UK tour dates for next month, alongside new single ‘Heaven Let Me In’, which was co-produced by Disclosure.
The run of shows, which will include an all-nighter at London’s Oval Space, will feature guests including Ross From Friends, Space Dimension Controller, Justin Robertson, Paranoid London, Vonica, and Alex Metric & Ten Yen.
“We wanted to make these shows more ‘party’ than ‘gig’ as an experience”, says the band’s Jack Savidge. “We’ve done that in the past with our Coronet and Brixton late night shows back in the day. Intimate venues, DJs before and after we play, the band fitting into the narrative of the night rather than being the key spectacle”.
He goes on: “It speaks to the roots of our live show and is a pure expression of how we see this project of ours. We’ve always aimed our live shows squarely at the dance floor and steeped ourselves in the music and culture of clubs, and these nights will be a full celebration of that”.
Here are the relevant details:
28 Nov: Newcastle, Riverside (with Justin Robertson and Vonica)
29 Nov: London, Oval Space (with Space Dimension Controller and Vonica)
30 Nov: London, Oval Space (with Ross From Friends DJ set, Space Dimension Controller, Alex Metric & Ten Yen)
1 Dec: Bristol, Anson Rooms (with Paranoid London DJ set, secret special guests, Alex Metric & Ten Yen)
Tickets go on general sale on 19 Oct.
