Big Thief – Biggest Dublin show
Tickets are priced at €45 plus fees and are on sale Thursday September 11th from Ticketmaster.ie and SingularArtists.ie.
Presale is via the promoter.
Laaraji, the 82 year old ambient-leaning multi-instrumentalist is on support.
The UK and European leg of their Somersault Slide 360 tour will see Big Thief play some of the biggest headline shows of their career thus far including a 3-night residency at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, 2 nights at Oslo’s Sentrum Scene and the Olympia, Paris, plus shows at Dublin’s 3Arena, Amsterdam’s AFAS and Brussels’ Forest National in the pipeline.
Big Thief are songwriter and vocalist Adrianne Lenker, guitarist Buck Meek, and drummer James Krivchenia who are about to release their sixth album Double Infinity this Friday.
Double Infinity is the Big Thief’s sixth studio album and features the singles ‘Grandmother [ft. Laraaji]’, ‘Los Angeles’, ‘All Night All Day’ and ‘Incomprehensible’.
Recorded last winter at the Power Station, New York City, for three solid weeks the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in studio’s warm wood-panelled room. Together with a community of musicians (Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas) they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together – simultaneously – improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries. The album was recorded live with minimal overdubs. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.
