Twice Grammy-nominated artist Arlo Parks, winner of the Mercury Prize and a BRIT Award, has announced a world headline tour, which includes a concert at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, as well as a special support performance with David Byrne in Ireland this June. The dates come in support of Arlo’s new album, “Ambiguous Desire”, due for release on 3 April. Arlo Parks will also play a series of intimate, already sold-out shows in UK record stores to celebrate the album’s release, giving fans a rare chance to see a live performance in a closer setting.
ABOUT ARLO PARKS. Born in London, Arlo Parks won the Mercury Prize with her 2021 debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, won the Breakthrough Artist award at the 2021 Brit Awards and received two Grammy Award and two Ivor Novello Award nominations. She has also been called “the voice of her generation”. Her next album, My Soft Machine, featured artists such as Phoebe Bridgers and took her on tour around the world. In 2025, she became the youngest person ever to be named a UNICEF ambassador, while continuing her humanitarian work. 2026 marks the release of her highly anticipated third album, Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of New York’s Paradise Garage to the nocturnal, melancholic UK rhythms of The Streets and Burial, via the shimmering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem and the rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, Ambiguous Desire shows Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack for unfiltered personal expression, it is a new, life-filled work from one of music’s most irrepressible voices.
