Leon Bridges Announces Debut UK Tour Details + New Single Details
O2 Shepherds Bush Empire Show Added For Autumn.
Leon Bridges is pleased to announce details of a first UK tour for the Summer.
The young Fort Worth, Texan who made his first trip outside of the US to play London earlier this year, will return in July to headline four new dates in support of his debut album, Coming Home. He then returns in September to headline London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.
Coming Home is released in the UK on 22nd June through Columbia Records. It was produced by Austin Jenkins and Josh Block from fellow Texans White Denim, and includes Leon’s acclaimed debut tracks Coming Home and Lisa Sawyer. A new single, Better Man, precedes the single on the 14th June.

Tickets for the new tour are on sale from 9am Friday 1st May through here, priced at £12.50 (London £15).
Last week Leon was invited to perform at The Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, performing both Dedicated To The One I Love and When Man A Man Loves A Woman, in honouring The 5 Royales into the Hall Of Fame and in memoriam of Percy Sledge (a past inductee).
