For the first time in 6 years, South London’s own indie superstar Jamie T is heading back out on tour with 9 dates all over the UK. Kicking off this November, the tour will see Treays take on the usual list of O2 academies around the country, as well as a date at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace, all before culminating at Portsmouth’s Guildhall. Tickets for the tour go on general sale 9am Friday 8th July, but if you pre-order Jamie T’s new album The Theory Of Whatever from the official store before Tuesday, July 5th, you can get yourself a pre-sale code valid for 9am on Wednesday 6th.

It’s been 6 years since our last Jamie T album, and during that time he has seemingly started to lean into the fact that he can basically wait as long as he wants… and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. 15 years have passed since his debut Panic Prevention, and his influence has only expanded up until the genre-skipping escapade that was his last LP Trick. While Jamie T’s music will always come with his signature gruff swagger, the unpredictability of which particular influences peek through on each record is always enough to keep fans on their toes. To promote his new effort, T took to his socials and shared a video of himself reading a brief seemingly from his management, and then sharing a few snippets of songs. You can check out the clip below.

At the moment, we can only pre-order the new album. So, until July 29th you can satisfy any Jamie T needs with a copy of the 15th-anniversary edition of his debut. To commemorate the occasion, the 2CD deluxe edition also comes with a disc comprising of an unreleased gig, Panic Prevention Disco: live at the Scala from 2006, you can pick up a copy of that here.
Last month saw Treays play his first live show in over 5 years too. Held at London’s Subterania – an appropriately small venue for a comeback show – the show contained all the usual antics one can expect from a comeback show of this calibre: a few live rarities like “Sheila” from his 2007 debut, a bunch of live debuts including new single “The Old Style Raiders”, and a whole bunch of messing around. Treays also made an appearance at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, clearly in the mood to warm himself up for this tour. Get tickets while you can.
