Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn have just announced their rescheduled UK tour dates for 2021. The duo have pushed back all their previously scheduled performances to September, during which they will play at ten different venues across the country.
The pair’s tour will begin in Manchester at Academy 2 on September 6th, before ending at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on September 17th. Whilst Frankie and Harvey are set for a very busy September, playing ten dates across eleven days, it will undoubtedly be a welcomed return to the stage for the duo. Perhaps most importantly, they are set to return to their native Brighton for a homecoming show on the penultimate night of the tour, playing at Concorde 2 on September 16th.

The artists’ announcement of rescheduled UK tour dates comes straight after the release of their new project ‘Handle With Care’ on March 19th. The 8-track EP sees Frankie’s introspective lyricism combine with Harvey’s soulful but melancholic production to create a record that often looks inward. Discussing the new project with Wordplay Magazine, Frankie said, “The whole thing was made throughout lockdown as you said and I found this most recent one very hard, to be honest, so the album, body of work, whatever you wanna call it represents how I was feeling during that time.”
He added, “It’s a snapshot project and one that’s very reflective of these times. A lot of people will relate to these universal feelings.” Indeed, ‘Handle With Care’ perfectly captures the gloomy feelings that many people have had to wrestle with during the COVID-induced national lockdowns.
‘Handle With Care’ follows on from their 2020 album ‘Breathing Exercises’, which was a similarly reflective record. Exploring themes of mental health, depression, and anxiety, Frankie’s relaxed flows and Harvey’s warm downtempo production provide the perfect sonic environment for this therapeutic music. Fans will certainly be looking forward to witnessing the musical chemistry between these two play out live on-stage once again.
