Seven time GRAMMY winner Beck has announced new dates at Edinburgh Usher Hall for 7th July and a second date at London O2 Academy Brixton date for 12th July. These will be the third and fourth dates of his highly anticipated return to the UK, with previously announced shows at London O2 Academy Brixton (11th July) selling out in a matter of hours and last few tickets of Manchester O2 Victoria Warehouse (9th July) set to follow soon.
The shows will mark Beck’s first live shows in the UK since his lauded Second Stage Headline slot at All Points East in May 2017. Today’s announcement comes hot-on-the-heels of his critically acclaimed, sold out 2019 headline tour of the US.
Away from the live arena, Beck remains as creatively restless as ever, a master of reinvention achieving yet another career peak in the studio. As the title of his critically acclaimed new 14th album Hyperspace implies, Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson. In the decades since, Beck’s singular career has seen him utilize all manners and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while simultaneously foraging through the past.
Hailed by NME as ‘Pop minimalism that proves there’s no sound he can’t excel at’ (**** Four Stars) and ‘A bleak, spacey R&B tour de force, it’s dewy, plush and on-trend’, Hyperspace’s futuristic spectrum is the result of one of Beck’s most collaborative albums to date.
