Michael Kiwanuka will resume the UK touring of his ‘Love & Hate‘ album next spring.
The tickets, made non-transferable in a bid to curb touts, are on sale from Friday (September 30th). The tour opens at the Albert Hall in Manchester on April 29th 2017, and moves on to Gateshead, Glasgow, Bristol and Cambridge before a prestigious closing night at the Royal Albert Hall in London on May 5th.
Like most, we were immediately enchanted by Kiwanuka’s second record, acknowledging that ‘his reincarnation has crafted one of 2016’s best records‘:
“On ‘Love & Hate’s apex ‘Father’s Child‘ the simple loops, finger rolled keyboards and gossamer scream to a cry voice are in a magical alignment. A marker from an artist emphatically at a peak he maybe felt he’d never reach, it’s a heartbeat which could belong to any moment of the last half century.”
