Future Islands will play three nights in London when they visit the UK this November.
The tour, which has been getting progressively bigger since it was first announced, is now due to take in Brixton Academy gigs on November 20th, 21st and 22nd, with more shows coming up in Manchester, Bournemouth and Norwich.
Live4ever was at the Manchester Academy during a previous UK tour, where we found 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.”
