Future Islands have added an extra night in London and stops in Manchester, Bournemouth and Norwich to their November UK touring plans.
Following the release of new album The Far Field earlier this year, the band now have five gigs coming up across a week in November, still starting with that original night at London’s Brixton Academy.
We caught the band in Manchester on one of their last visits to the UK, discovering a ‘monster now running rampant‘:
“Future Islands are not a band searching for a hit, and live they are not a band trying to please. They are simply whatever they are. And live that is impossible to describe. Things can be said about it – beautiful, impassioned, bold, stark, gripping – but what exactly this means is their secret.”
“They are sharing their souls with the world, without telling you why; that will forever remain theirs, and this sense of mystery and wonder alone makes the show something to behold.”
