This morning, Declan McKenna, alternative singer/songwriter and socially conscious artist, announces his 40-date U.S. headlining tour, the most extensive tour the 18-year-old Brit has undertaken yet. McKenna will perform in cities including Austin, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Seattle (full dates below) following rapturously received performances at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and the release of his debut album What Do You Think About The Car? via Columbia Records. Tickets for this tour will go on sale on Saturday, December 9th at 10AM Local Time and will be available here.
He will be at the Fox Theatre on March 18, 2018 at 7:30pm.
Alongside his headlining dates, Declan McKenna will appear at area high schools in cities on this tour, for an intimate performance and Q&A with local students. McKenna will perform 3-4 songs acoustically, and talk about his journey as a young songwriter and how music and performing have shaped his life. A common theme in McKenna's music is the role young people play in creating a more equitable society, and through these performances he hopes to empower fellow teenagers and help them realize that their voice matters and that they can create positive change, even if it can feel confusing or hopeless at first. As Declan says in a recent Billboard interview: "Quite a big part of the album is about change and being confused... a lot of the headspace I was in was trying to make sense of growing up in a world with loads of crazy things happening."
