The tour news comes on the heels of Young’s new single ‘Wish You Were Dead’, which the BRIT-nominated artist said helped her to “process an abusive and at times toxic relationship I experienced”.
She added on social media that “even though at times i felt trapped, it’s about loving a person regardless of the fact they are hurting you”.

it’s a song to help me process an abusive and at times toxic relationship I experienced, even though at times i felt trapped, it’s about loving a person regardless of the fact they are hurting you.

NME described Young’s 2023 debut extended project, ‘My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely’, as “utterly compelling” in a four-star review.
It added: “On her debut project it’s gratifying to hear Young push her idea of pop beyond the spacey atmospherics of her earlier material – this is the overdue arrival of a completely credible new talent.”
Lola Young’s 2024 UK and European tour dates are:
MARCH
5 – Scala, London, UK
6 – The Deaf Institute, Manchester, UK
7 – The Island, Bristol, UK
APRIL

In February of 2022, Young reflected on being nominated for the BRITS Rising Star Award alongside Bree Runway and Holly Humberstone.
“It says that women rule the world, and that young, uprising talent is still equally important,” she told NME on the red carpet. “It leaves room for so much. We’re still at the first steps. It’s massively part of the bigger picture.”
