Les Savy Fav are set to return to the UK early next year for a series of live shows.
There’s plenty of factors which go into creating a great rock show. Plenty of material, personality, wit, volume – all these can go a long way into keeping an audience gripped while you’re onstage.
In fact, those elements are beginning to sound a lot like Les Savy Fav. The New Yorkers are well known for their stunning live show, and celebrated their recent album ‘Root For Ruin’ with some typically lengthy dates.
Playing across North America, the band even made a return trip to the UK. Les Savy Fav completed a series of special dates, but left countless fans disappointed by no including more shows.
Now Les Savy Fav are set to make up for lost time by confirming a lengthy British tour. The New York based group will kick off the tour by taking part in a special one off show at London’s Heaven venue.
Taking place on February 22nd, Les Savy Fav will then travel around the UK. Shows in Cardiff, Manchester, Birmingham and more are set to follow with the tour finishing in Newcastle on March 2nd.
“We started playing the new songs out live and they are so fun to play that we suddenly want to play them more and more,” explains frontman Tim Harrington. “This spring/summer we are looking forward to doing more shows then we’ve done in a long time. Playing unique/crazy festivals and stuff is great but there is something about bringing all of our energy into a small dank sweat filled room- the energy is so concentrated that it feels like the place could blow open like a shook champagne bottle”.
