Kurt Vile has announced a US and European tour that includes the singer’s first London date since 2023.
The KV’s Been Good To Me Tour kicks off on June 16th in Toronto, and runs through to November. But it’s the London date we’re most interested in. Kurt Vile & the Violators will play Troxy on September 9th.
Support comes from Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band, and tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday April 10th. There’s no presale period for this one, so consider setting a calendar alert.
Pricing for the tickets is yet to be revealed, but gigs at Troxy tend to cost somewhere in the region of £50.
This concert lands just a week after “saviours of rock” Geese play a two-night run at Troxy. Both nights are long sold out, though.
It will be Kurt Vile’s first London concert since 2013, when Kurt Vile & The Violators played two nights at Koko on June 12th and 13th. Troxy has capacity of around 3100, roughly matching the number of fans two nights at Koko can accommodate.
The tour is in support of Vile’s just-announced new album, Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me. It’s out on May 29th and will be his first in four years, following 2022’s Watch My Moves.
