ALFIE TEMPLEMAN ANNOUNCES SPRING 2022 HEADLINE TOUR

18 year old rising star Alfie Templeman has shared details of a Spring 2022 headline tour – including his biggest show to date at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Mar 16.

It follows the recent announcement of mini-album Forever Isn’t Long Enough, which serves as Templeman’s final and most substantial body of work before recording starts on his debut album proper, and is available for pre-order.

Pre-sale tour tickets will be available on Weds 24 March for fans who have pre-ordered the mini-album from Alfie’s store or who bought tickets for his sold out Spring ’21 tour which had to be rearranged due to the pandemic, while general sale tickets will be available on Friday 26 March at 9am.

Alfie says: “It was a real bummer having to cancel so many sold-out shows last year and the start of this year but now things are looking more hopeful and positive I’m extremely excited to announce that we’re playing our biggest shows yet in the spring of 2022. It’s going to be really magical being together and celebrating with music, so grab a ticket and I’ll see you at a show! Alf x ”

Premiering as his fourth consecutive Hottest Record In The World with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, current single ‘Everybody’s Gonna Love Somebody’ is Alfie Templeman’s first single since riotous bop ‘Forever Isn’t Long Enough’ arrived back in September 2020. ‘Everybody’s Gonna Love Somebody’ has received glowing praise across the board from the likes of NME, The Sunday Times, Notion, The Independent, DIY, Dork, CLASH, The Line Of Best Fit, and more while garnering support from Annie Mac, Jack Saunders, Jess Iszatt, Clara Amfo, Nick Grimshaw, Gemma Bradley, and Jordan North at BBC Radio 1, Jo Whiley at BBC Radio 2, Chris Hawkins at BBC Radio 6 Music, and is playlisted at Absolute Radio 20s and Amazing Radio.

Speaking about the Forever Isn’t Long Enough mini-album, Templeman added: “I wanted to make a refined and focused pop record – something more widescreen than an EP but more concise than a full-length album -with a feel somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours and Tame Impala’s Currents. In making Forever Isn’t Long Enough I realised that I needed to slow down a little and work on things carefully. The songs took anywhere from one day to 4 months to 2 years to finish for this record, but I made sure each one was perfect and I’ve never been more proud of how they all came out.”

Templeman has also included in an amazing run of 2021 tips lists, including the BBC Sound Of 2021, Radio X Great X-Pectations, MTV, Amazon Music, Vevo, The Sun, Sunday Mirror, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Official Charts UK, Wonderland Magazine, Huffington Post, and more. Templeman also appeared on Top Of The Pops’ New Years special over the festive period.
