BABYBIRD — Announces UK Tour For May 2023

BABYBIRD have announced a five-date UK tour for Spring 2023.

Kicking off in Bristol on 2 May, the tour will also see stops in Cardiff, Manchester, Leeds and London. Tickets are available now.

Speaking of the shows, Stephen Jones explains:

“We deliberately requested these four places, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds and London (now with Cardiff added in), as it feels like a rite of passage to return. These cities featured in our first tours in 1996 and 1997, and are the most memorable for the between-song banter and the enthusiasm. Though I live in Manchester, these other cities are our musical homes too.”

Fronted by Stephen Jones, Babybird formed in 1995 and gained acclaim with 1996 international hit “You’re Gorgeous”. The band released 11 albums including debut record ‘I Was Born a Man’ before their split in 2013.

Since then Jones has continued to be as prolific as ever: writing fiction, releasing solo work on Bandcamp and creating the score for the film ‘Blessed’.

Having reunited with his band and armed with as many eccentric, mood-swinging, melodic pop delights as ever, the pioneers of critical pop will once more be bringing their charming wit and innovative sound to UK audiences this May. Full dates and details below.
