Mitksi has announced and shared details for an upcoming 2024 UK/EU tour. The tour will be in support of her latest album, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We.
Mitski has been playing acoustic shows across North America, United Kingdom and Europe to support the album already. However, this upcoming tour will incorporate a full band, closer resembling the lush and layered studio recordings found on the album.
The venues chosen are exclusively seated venues as described by Mitski herself as she said: “All of these are seated venues, and some of the best seats are reserved for the fan presale.” The choice of venue reflects the laid-back sonic aesthetic of the new album especially in comparison to previous works like Puberty 2 in 2016.
Mitski is going on tour next year with her full band across Europe with multi-night stops in the UK, Berlin, and Amsterdam. Richard Dawson, Miya Folick, and Iceage will be opening up. Fan presale tickets are available starting at 10AM local time tomorrow, October 18th pic.twitter.com/otRylOx53I

The tour starts on April 27th of next year in Edinburgh, for two nights at Usher Hall, before heading into Manchester’s 02 Apollo for two nights on May 1st and 2nd and then Dublin’s 3Arena on May 4th. Mitski then heads into Wolverhampton at The Civic At The Halls on May 6th, before heading to the Eventim Apollo in London on the 8th-10th of May. Mitski then ventures into mainland Europe on May 14th, playing the Cirque Royal in Brussels, then heading into France, Netherlands, Germany before rounding out the whole portion of the tour playing Theatre 11 in Zurich.
Support for the UK dates will be provided by Newcastle-based folk artist, Richard Dawson, who has released acclaimed albums such as 2020 and Peasant and Miya Follick for the shows in London and Wolverhampton.
Talking about the new album, Mitski has called it her most American, as she said: “I’m always trying to figure out what it means to be American. But especially with this album, I think I’m trying to reconcile all my various identities with being American today. I feel like I’ve always been seeing my own identities through the eyes of other people who haven’t lived my identities. And I kind of think maybe that’s also very uniquely American. I’m Asian American. I’m half white, half Asian. And so I don’t really fit into either community very well. I am another in America, even though I am American.”
Tickets for Mitski’s upcoming 17-date run will be available on general sale on Friday 20th October at 10am. Tickets can be found and purchased here.
