Big Thief have built their reputation on intimate songwriting and quietly powerful live shows. Now, the Brooklyn quartet is stepping onto some of Europe’s most iconic stages as they prepare for the UK and European leg of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour, announced this week.
The timing is no accident. Their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, arrives this Friday via 4AD, and the tour will serve as the first major chance for fans to hear the new songs live. It’s a bold move that shows how far the group has come, pairing their understated folk-rock roots with venues of grander scale and broader reach.
The tour launches in April 2026 and includes a run of multi-night residencies that underline the depth of their following. Three consecutive shows are booked at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, alongside extended stops in Paris at L’Olympia and in Oslo at Sentrum Scene. Other highlights include Dublin’s 3Arena, Amsterdam’s AFAS Live, and Brussels’ Forest National—rooms that speak to their elevated status on the global stage.
Big Thief’s appeal has always been rooted in emotional honesty. Adrianne Lenker’s voice cuts through with an intimacy that feels suited to smaller clubs, yet the band’s steady growth proves that vulnerability resonates at scale. This tour announcement feels like a natural extension of their rise, an affirmation that the quietest details in their music can still fill vast halls.
Tickets open to the general public on September 11, with early presales beginning September 8. Given the demand for their recent tours, fans can expect these shows to sell quickly. More than just a live run, the Somersault Slide 360 Tour represents a moment of expansion for a band that has spent a decade building trust with its audience.
