red de walvis

Sufjan Stevens' album The Age of Adz was well worth the wait, receiving universal critical acclaim and the level of salivation was borne out by reaching Number 7 in the US Billboard charts and the Top 30 in the UK the week of its release. The single ‘Too Much' was A-listed on 6 Music as well as regular plays on Radio 1 from the likes of Zane Lowe and Rob Da Bank.

On the back of all this ecstatic news, phenomenal word of mouth for a self released project and some ravishing US shows in Autumn 2010, Sufjan will tour Europe with a full band and lands in the UK for the first time since November 2006. If the US dates are anything to go by then we should be prepared for one hell of show, covering all the biggies; "love, heartache and the end of the world". Oh, and fun too.
DM Stith will open all shows.

"The music he performs is still a stirring thing of powerful fragility"
