Pale Waves are hitting the road this October with their Still Smitten Tour – a heart-first run of UK and Ireland dates that sees the Manchester alt-pop outfit steering away from the usual stops and straight toward their most loyal fans.
Kicking off in Sunderland on October 13th, the 13-date tour is a love letter to the towns that often get overlooked. Expect smaller rooms, bigger feelings and a setlist that spans heartbreak anthems and emotional highs from their critically acclaimed album Smitten.
“These aren’t your typical tour stops,” says frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie. “But that’s exactly why we chose them. We wanted to bring the show to places that deserve more love – those underrated spots that are full of character and loyal fans we’ve been dying to play for.”
The Still Smitten Tour includes a much-anticipated hometown return to Manchester’s O2 Ritz on October 16, alongside dates in Wrexham, Stoke, Southampton, Dublin and more. Fans can also expect new music, hinting at what’s next in the Pale Waves chapter.
Following the top 10 success of Smitten – a bold, emotionally raw record that pushed the band’s sound into deeper territory – this tour is a continuation of that spirit: intimate, defiant and straight from the heart.
“This tour isn’t about the biggest venues,” adds Baron-Gracie. “It’s about the biggest feelings.”
