New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, the hotly-tipped UK group Palace announce amendments to their fast-selling 2022 tour of the US and Canada: After selling out Los Angeles's Fonda Theatre, they have added a second Fonda date for Friday, May 20 (tickets on sale here). Additionally, they have upgraded their April 23 date in Austin to the esteemed
Empire Garage venue (tickets on sale here). The tour is on its way to a bevy of blowouts, with their April 22 date in Dallas at Club Dada already sold out.
This touring news comes ahead of what is sure to be an explosive 2022 for Palace. Their third album Shoals is due for release on January 21 via Avenue A / Fiction, and early singles "Lover, Don't Let Me Down," "Fade," and "Sky Becomes Sea" have already received praise from the NME, Stereogum, The Observer and more. They are gearing up for their biggest live dates yet, including a headlining slot at the 5000-cap O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 11.
Frontperson Leo Wyndham has "velvety vocals that will send shivers down your spine" (i-D) and his falsetto has often been compared to Jeff Buckley. Check that out in full force on the 1M+ streaming "Lover (Don't Let Me Down)."
Shoals is the band's love letter to fear and the fullness of life one experiences when facing it down. Unsurprisingly, the sea was a major inspiration, as the record posits the ocean's violent yet beautiful energy as the ebb and flow between sheer panic and euphoric relief. New single "Sky Becomes Sea" perfectly encapsulates the album's purpose, confronting death — the ultimate phobia — with dreamy and elegiac orchestration that builds steadily beneath unhurried backing vocals. It's an epic that exhibits the band's understated ambition.
Having built a dedicated live following through mesmerising shows at some of the country's finest venues, Palace played some of the world's biggest festivals in 2019 including main stage slots at Mad Cool, Latitude and Glastonbury's Park Stage before an autumn tour culminating at their biggest show ever at a sold-out Camden Roundhouse. The band kicked off 2020 by selling out their debut USA tour ahead of returning to the studio to start work on their third album. With a host of new 2022 tour dates confirmed and an incredible 1.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Palace are set to continue their enviable trajectory upwards through the best venues the world over. See below for the full list of new tour dates.
Leo Wyndham, Matt Hodges and Rupert Turner released their acclaimed debut EP Lost In The Night in 2014, followed by the Chase The Light EP the following year, their debut album So Long Forever in 2016 and sophomore album Life After in 2019.
