Acclaimed alternative folk outfit The Paper Kites have officially entered a new era, announcing the arrival of their seventh studio album, If You Go There, I Hope You Find It, set for release on January 23 via Nettwerk. To celebrate the news, the band has confirmed a massive 2026 headline tour, featuring a comprehensive run of dates across the United Kingdom.
A Return to British Stages
Following years of building a dedicated global following—amassing over two billion streams—the Australian band is returning to the UK this February. The tour kicks off in Belfast on February 17, before heading through major creative hubs including Glasgow, Manchester, and Leeds.
The UK leg culminates in two of the tour’s most anticipated shows: a night at the Electric Bristol on February 23 and a grand finale at London’s iconic Roundhouse on February 24. These dates offer fans the first opportunity to experience the new material in an intimate, live setting, characterized by the band’s signature flawless harmonies and atmospheric storytelling.
2026 UK Tour Dates:
Feb 17: Belfast – Limelight
Feb 19: Glasgow – SWG3
Feb 20: Manchester – O2 Ritz
Feb 21: Leeds – Stylus
Feb 23: Bristol – Electric Bristol
Feb 24: London – Roundhouse
New Music: "Every Town"
In tandem with the tour announcement, the band shared their latest single, "Every Town." The track is a melancholic reflection on enduring love, perfectly capturing the "quiet ache" of memories that linger regardless of distance. It follows the lead single “When The Lavender Blooms,” which was mixed by multi-Grammy winner Jon Low (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran).
The upcoming album is described as a "whispered conversation," rooted in themes of healing, nature, and emotional clarity. For a band that has soundtracked everything from Grey’s Anatomy to personal milestones for millions, these upcoming live dates represent a homecoming of sorts to the quiet, powerful folk-rock that made "Bloom" a multi-platinum phenomenon.
