Singer-songwriter Nadine Shah has announced a one-off performance which fans will be able to attend in person or livestream. Help at the Barbican in London, it will be taking place on 30th March 2021 and will see her play latest album ‘Kitchen Sink’ in full.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am this Friday, 11th December, with a limited number of in-person tickets available to allow social distancing guidelines to be followed, priced between £20 and £30. Alternatively, fans can watch the live-stream, with tickets costing £12.50.
The show is part of the ‘Live From The Barbican’ series, which will see numerous artists take to the stage including Jonny Greenwood, Anna Meredith, and This Is The Kit. When the series began in September, managing director Nicholas Kenyon said, “The autumn concerts have been designed and produced with both digital streaming and live audiences in mind and developed entirely in-house. This has made us more flexible and agile, and we hope to continue to use this technology in the future to bring our programming to wider audiences on and offline, nationally and internationally.”
‘Kitchen Sink’ is Shah’s 11-track album, released in June as her fourth LP. On the most popular track ‘Trad’, the artist explores feminism in her usual art-rock style of writing, with a satirical take on marriage and expectations placed on women. In an Instagram post, she explained that the song as “a plea from a woman to a partner begging for a promise of marriage.” The song’s haunting music video has gained 5,000 views in only two weeks.
