Arlo Parks live at the 2023 BBC 6 Music Festival (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Arlo Parks was joined on stage by Romy Madley Croft.
Arlo Parks closed out the BBC 6 Music Festival last night, performing at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse.
Prior to the gig, Parks had spoken about being excited to introduce her new album My Soft Machine – set for release this coming May – in a live setting, especially at an event surrounded by, ‘such innovative, singular artists’.
The follow-up to 2021’s Mercury Prize-winning Collapsed In Sunbeams was announced in January with the lead single Weightless – described by Parks as being about, ‘the painful experience of caring deeply about someone who only gives you tiny breadcrumbs of affection’:
It’s about suddenly realising that a person has dulled your edges and embarking on the slow journey back to being a brighter version of yourself.
