Nilufer Yanya Announces North American Tour Dates With Fleet Foxes, Form: Arcosanti And Pitchfork Festival Dates

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nilüfer Yanya, 22-year-old London "pop polymath" (Stereogum), just wrapped a breakout ten-performance SXSW debut where she was both an NPR Music "Austin 100" artist and an All Songs Considered "discovery." In May, she returns to the US for a performance at the prestigious FORM: Arcosanti Festival in Arizona, followed by North American tour dates with Fleet Foxes and a Pitchfork Festival appearance in July.

Since making her US performance debut with headlining one-off LA and NYC dates in 2017, Nilüfer's "brilliantly nonchalant" (Pitchfork) guitar sound and "devastating" hooks (The New York Times) have made her one of the most in-demand young names in contemporary music. A BBC "Sound of 2018" artist and NPR Music "Slingshot" artist, her jazzy-noir voice and Jeff Buckley-esque chords have won her praise from Pitchfork (three "best new tracks" and counting), The FADER, Paper, Nylon, The New Yorker, and more.

At her festival and Fleet Foxes dates, Nilüfer will perform the songs from the 'Do You Like Pain?' EP (her first-ever US physical release) as well as older and unreleased material with singular presence, dry wit, and "effortlessly smooth" (The FADER) confidence. Full routing below.
