Lykke Li confirms The Afterparty London KOKO gig

Lykke Li by Chloé Le Drezen

Lykke Li announces a one-off UK show.

Lykke Li will perform tracks from her new album The Afterparty during a gig at the London KOKO on June 11th.

Tickets for the show go on general sale from April 24th with the album set for release on May 8th following recording sessions in Stockholm accompanied by a 17-piece orchestra.

“I find that we’re in an era where everyone is talking about, ‘My higher self’,” she’s said. “Fuck that. This is an album dealing with your lower self: your need for revenge, your shame, despair.”

To me it’s samsara in a song. The wheel of life; winning, losing, living, dying. Having had something and praying you’ll have it again. Whether it’s sex, money, vitality, love. I always said I wanted the Vivaldi song at my wedding or funeral but I think this is giving more revenge heist energy.
