Blood Orange – aka Dev Hynes – has announced a new headline show at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse on Friday 14th November.
This month, Blood Orange kicks off an action-packed fall with a Portola Music Festival set, before joining hardcore-collaborator Turnstile in cities like Richmond and Columbus, and later accompanying Lorde for arena shows that take him to iconic venues like the Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Los Angeles’s Kia Forum.
The news follows the release of Blood Orange’s first album in over six years, Essex Honey via RCA Records. Written, produced, and recorded by Hynes, Essex Honey is a soundtrack created from a dreamscape of his journey working through grief. It is also an album about growing up in Essex (outside London) and the way music has inspired, healed, and interwoven itself through Hynes’ life.
Like all Blood Orange albums, Essex Honey comes with an incredible list of collaborators, some who have created with Hynes multiple times, and others who are new to his sonic fold.
These include Lorde, Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Tariq Al-Sabir, author Zadie Smith – singing on an album for the first time – Ian Isiah, Tirzah, Eva Tolkin, The Durutti Column, Wet’s Kelly Zutrau, Naomi Scott, Amandala Stenberg, and Liam Benzvi.
Artist presale begins tomorrow, September 9 at 10 AM local time. Tickets will be available for the general public on September 11 at 10 AM local time. Purchase tickets and stay updated on future Blood Orange shows HERE.
