Tenille Townes announces UK return with Living Room Tour this September

Following the release of her acclaimed new album The Acrobat last Friday, Tenille Townes has today announced her long-awaited return to the UK in September. The Living Room Tour will see Townes playing Cardiff, London, Manchester and Glasgow. Tickets are on-sale on Friday from 10am BST here.

Commenting on her return, Townes shared, 

“The UK is one of my all time favourite places to tour… it’s the land of second verses because everyone knows even the second verses! I’ve been working on a way to get back there for a while, and I’m so excited to play some new music this fall in a storyteller setting at these venues. Can’t wait to see all the amazing people over there!”

Townes is taking a bold step out on her own with her third album marking a clear shift toward a more intimate, singer-songwriter, folk-leaning sound, one that strips everything back to lyric, melody and emotional truth.

Written during a period of profound personal and professional transition, the record finds her standing at a crossroads between who she has been and who she is becoming. Relationship endings, career shifts, and the overwhelming noise of the world around her pushed Townes to begin peeling back long-held patterns of people-pleasing and self-sacrifice. What emerged is this beautifully crafted body of work rooted in honesty, courage, and the quiet tenacity it takes to keep moving forward when certainty falls away. The record’s sparse production places an emphasis on Townes’ incomparable storytelling ability and powerhouse vocals, creating a resonance that leaves the listener feeling like they’re in the room with the artist.

The Acrobat includes a feature with recent Grammy winners I’m With Her (Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan) on “grey like Emmylou” and other tracks written with Grammy winning writers Lori McKenna, Amy Wadge and Daniel Tashian. The collection also includes several songs penned solely by Townes. The record as a whole is completely recorded, produced and mixed by Townes’, who also played every instrument on the record.

Commitment to emotional honesty has defined Townes’ career from the beginning. The Canada-born, Nashville-based artist has earned two JUNO Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and 17 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, while touring alongside artists such as Stevie Nicks, Miranda Lambert, Shania Twain, Keith Urban, Reba, Zac Brown Band, George Strait, and Dierks Bentley. Across every chapter, she has built a devoted global audience drawn to her empathy, lyrical precision, and willingness to sit with difficult truths.
