In addition, Humberstone is set to make major festival appearances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and All Things Go Toronto.
Holly Humberstone will take her live show back on the road this summer with a run of North American tour dates. Kicking off on June 3, the Cruel World North American Tour includes headline performances at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, DC’s 9:30 Club, Chicago’s The Vic Theatre, Minneapolis’ Varsity Theater, San Francisco’s The Fillmore and more.
In addition, Humberstone is set to make major festival appearances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and All Things Go Toronto. Artist pre-sale begins on Tuesday, February 10 while public on-sale kicks off on Friday, February 13, here.
The forthcoming tour is in support of Humberstone’s sophomore album Cruel World, which is due on April 10 via Interscope Records. The new record aims to capture the tension between pain and pleasure, where chaos and acceptance exist side by side.
Cruel World was written with a new discipline through daily studio sessions with collaborator Rob Milton and draws deeply on love (romantic, platonic and feminine). Gothic love songs on the record, like the previously released track “Die Happy,” explore devotion, danger and desire, pulling from fairytales, Dracula and the ache of seasons changing. Humberstone’s latest release, “To Love Somebody," is inspired by Victorian theatre, the Brothers Grimm and Nosferatu.
Humberstone first emerged with her breakthrough EP Falling Asleep At The Wheel five years ago. She has performed at the stages of Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Wembley Stadium, where she opened for Taylor Swift.
