CALEXICO

- SPRING EUROPEAN TOUR ANNOUNCED
- UK DATES AT LONDON’S BARBICAN & BRIGHTON DOME

2015 was an amazing year for Calexico. On the back of their critically acclaimed album Edge of the Sun they quite literally toured the world and played what many considered the best shows of their career. When it all ended with a sold out show in Berlin in November last year, it seemed we would have to wait for another album for the band to return to the European shores. However, we're happy to announce that the wait is over!
 
One year after their last UK tour and packed out show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Calexico will return to Europe, taking in dates at London’s esteemed Barbican Centre and Brighton Dome. They will be supported by Guatemalan singer-songwriter, Gaby Moreno.
 
For the better part of two decades, Calexico have crossed musical barriers, embracing a multitude of styles, variety in instrumentation, and well-cultivated signature sounds. On Edge of the Sun, Calexico found inspiration from a trip to a place surprisingly unexplored by the band before; Mexico City. With the help of many friends and comrades, including Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Neko Case and many others, they created a record that critics have cited as one of their finest yet.
