Metric announce UK tour dates
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 19 July 2022
Metric have announced tour dates in the UK and Ireland next year, in support of recently released new album ‘Formentera’.
“One of the high points of 2022 for us has been working on putting everything together for ‘The Doomscroller Tour’”, says frontwoman Emily Haines. “We’re crafting a setlist based on fan favourites, including deep cuts from [2005 album] ‘Live it Out’ and [2003 debut] ‘Old World [Underground]’, and it’s been wild to see how the new songs from ‘Formentera’ flow with the classics from [2009’] Fantasies’ and [2012’s] ‘Synthetica’”.
“I’m really happy with the venues we chose”, she goes on. “They suit the lighting and sonics and the whole mood of the show we’re crafting. I want Metric fans to have the best concert experience possible and feel like they got to escape into another reality with us for the evening. Can’t wait to get this show on the road!”
Tickets for the shows go on sale on 22 Jul. Here are the dates:
28 Jan: Dublin, The Academy
30 Jan: Glasgow, SWG3
31 Jan: Manchester, Academy
1 Feb: London, Roundhouse
