PATRICK WOLF ANNOUNCES HEADLINE UK TOUR


NEW ALBUM “LUPERCALIA” RELEASED JUNE 20TH

“…irresistibly romantic” - Q 

“Lupercalia’ is a superbly joyous, hook-driven record full of sweeping orchestration, an endearing sense of romanticism and undeniable commercial potential – helped, of course, by having one of the finest pop songs we’ve heard in an age (single, ‘The City’)… - The Fly 

 “…magnificent…” - Uncut

“‘House’ elicits a monumental howl from the fans…there is a man onstage looking like he invented emotion…if you’re a pretender in his path, you’d best step aside now.” - NME

“After new single, “The City”, has closed the set, the mood is ebullient: the underrated talents of Patrick Wolf have become altogether more apparent to everyone in attendance” - The Independent

“Britain’s most innovative, radical and creative pop star” - The Observer

“…stunning…” - Clash 

“…fans will always be hungry like the Wolf for their hero” - NOTW

“Romancing on the streets, kissing on corners – contentment never sounded so good” - Notion

“Suckers for pop heartbreak, handclaps and big violiny bits, consider yourself warned: not only is this POTW, it’s [“Time Of My Life”] shimmying up the Singles Of The Year” - The Guardian

 

The magnificent Patrick Wolf will embark on a headline UK tour in October and November this year. Playing tracks from his critically acclaimed fifth album, “Lupercalia” alongside classic material, Wolf will close the tour with a grandiose performance at London’s Roundhouse on Friday 4th November.

Speaking about the upcoming tour, Patrick said, "after the party of festival season, I want the Lupercalia Tour to be at the mercy of cupids arrows, that anyone who comes to the show will fall in love or fall deeper in love with their lovers. For domino dancers and hardcore romantics, a celebration of love and life"

New single “House” enjoyed success as Radio 2’s track of the week recently, and is currently playlisted on the stations B list.
