Ani DiFranco's UK Tour: Don’t Miss Out!
Ani DiFranco, Grammy Award-winning artist and prolific voice in music and activism, is set to embark on her highly anticipated headline tour in the UK and Ireland starting June 11, 2025. This marks her first tour in the UK since 2017 and promises to deliver a rich blend of her signature folk-rock sound and powerful lyrics.
Kicking off the tour is a special headline performance at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London, where she will be joined by acclaimed singer-songwriter and playwright Anaïs Mitchell. DiFranco’s journey has come full circle with this collaboration, as she recently starred as Persephone in Mitchell’s award-winning Broadway production “Hadestown.” The synergy between their artistic visions sets the stage for an unforgettable experience for concert-goers.
In addition to the Royal Albert Hall show, DiFranco will perform in Dublin at the National Concert Hall, Gateshead at The Glasshouse, Glasgow at Pavilion Theatre, and Cardiff at New Theatre. The tour will also feature support from Gracie and Rachel, both rising artists signed to her label, Righteous Babe Records. This line-up promises a blend of new and familiar sounds that DiFranco’s fans have come to love.
With the release of her latest album “Unprecedented Sh!t,” which has garnered critical acclaim, DiFranco continues to push the boundaries of her sound. The album is a reflection of current times, tackling themes such as social justice, reproductive rights, and climate change. This raw and powerful content resonates deeply with her audience, reinforcing her role as both an artist and an advocate.
Anticipation for the tour is heightened by DiFranco’s dynamic presence in both music and activism. Over the past months, she has been using her platform to spark vital conversations around issues like voting rights and reproductive freedom, having screened her documentary “1-800-ON-HER-OWN” in key swing states in the United States. This duality of artistry and activism underscores her commitment to creating meaningful dialogue through her work.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale at 10 AM local time on December 6, 2023. Given the limited nature of these performances, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early.
For music lovers and those seeking to engage in profound social conversations through art, Ani DiFranco’s UK tour presents an unmissable opportunity. With her unique sound, poignant lyrics, and dedicated activism, DiFranco is poised to deliver an impactful experience that resonates with her audience on multiple levels.
