This fall, influential and acclaimed Scottish alternative rock trio Biffy Clyro will launch their most intimate and exclusive North American headline tour yet. The band carefully selected eight storied rooms in major cities across the United States, choosing these spaces for their individual vibes, respective legacies, and gravitas as havens for rock and alternative music. Given the highly curated nature of the tour, these shows will provide an unparalleled Biffy Clyro live experience not-yet witnessed on this side of the Pond. Expect a marathon set highlighted by signature sets and surprises.
The tour kicks off on December 2nd in Los Angeles, CA at Lodge Room, stops in Chicago, IL at Bottom Lounge on December 10 and New York at Bowery Ballroom on December 13, and concludes in Washington, DC at Black Cat on December 14. Given the small capacities of each venue and demand for the three-piece, this tour will undoubtedly sell out.
A special Biffy Clyro presale goes live on Wednesday October 22 at 10am local time followed by venue and radio presales on Thursday October 23 at 10am local time. All presales end Thursday October 23 at 10pm local time. General on-sale commences Friday October 24 at 10am local time. Raue is the evening’s special guest across all dates. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below.
Of course, the group will embark on this jaunt in support of their globally praised new album Futique—out now via Warner Records. Listen HERE. The record has already tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by the likes of “A Little Love.” It has received fervent acclaim worldwide. In a “4-out-of-5 star” review, NME attested, “the Scottish rock legends draw on their best moments and a Bowie-esque European sheen for a vulnerable yet life-affirming blast.” KERRANG! went on to rave, “Futique is an album to cherish,” going on to applaud, “it’s a bold, fresh effort full of tunes that are simultaneously immediate and deep.”
“Futique” is a word for those beautiful, sad and fleeting moments that only become significant in hindsight. It’s an idea that complements revisiting your roots to reassess the future, and that is something that the trio have channeled throughout the record. The record’s atmosphere is as if they have stepped back to their early days as grunge-loving teenagers with big dreams, and applied it to the accomplishment and daring spirit that personified their catalogue from ‘Only Revolutions’ to ‘A Celebration of Endings’. What emerges is a record in which Biffy Clyro’s greatest strengths loom large: towering choruses, searing vulnerability, explosive dynamics, and a love of some unexpected sonic curveballs.
Biffy Clyro is in the midst of a run of special acoustic performances. They will play a matinee and an evening session at each venue, all of which instantly sold-out. Their full scale headline tour then gets underway in January. Arena shows in Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff all sold-out in just 24 hours and were soon followed by Madrid, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Offenbach. All other dates are seeing strong demand and remaining tickets are available HERE.
