To mark the 25th anniversary of his Mercury Prize- and Brit Award-nominated debut album, Tom McRae is out touring with a full band for the first time in years. He’ll be playing his self-titled debut in its entirety, topped off with highlights from his career and his nine studio albums.
McRae and his band bring to life the raw emotion and poetic storytelling that have made him one of the United Kingdom’s best-loved singer-songwriters. With a reputation for intense, moving live shows and dry, self-deprecating humour, this promises to be an unforgettable evening for both old and new fans alike.

“It’s been a long time since I played these songs the way they were meant to be heard—with a great band and a room full of voices singing along,” says McRae. “This tour is for everyone who has been on this journey with me—it’s a celebration of the music we’ve made together.”
