Mark Kozelek, who goes by the stage name Sun Kil Moon, will release his eleventh studio album, ‘Welcome to Sparks, Nevada’, later this year on 7th September. In celebration of this, he will be embarking on a tour around the world throughout this year and 2021. Of course, all attendees will be required to comply with the safety guidelines of venues given the current circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, including wearing masks and social distancing.
Tickets are available now from SongKick, and fans are looking forward to shows in London, Glasgow, and Manchester, as well as many more locations. The folk singer will likely perform some hit songs such as ‘Ben’s My Friend’, which has over 11 million streams on Spotify, as well as all of the new releases from the upcoming album. These include lead single ‘Lemon Balm’, shared on 29th June, title track ‘Welcome to Sparks’, and opener ‘Angela’.
Since the first tour date is in November 2020, fans will have two months to listen to the tracks and learn lyrics for the shows. Find the full track-list below.
Kozelek is an avid song-writer, having only shared his tenth album in 2019. His solo career kicked off in 2003 with the album ‘Ghosts of the Great Highway’, released via Jetset Records. He has worked with various band members since then, though he often writes alone, and has even recorded multiple solo albums under his own name.
