Disclosure have announced details of their first London shows in seven years. The sibling dance duo, who headlined at Reading and Leeds festival last weekend, will appear at Heaven, O2 Academy Brixton and Alexandra Palace in March 2022.
These will be their first shows in London since they toured their second album Caracal at the end of 2015, which ended with three sold out shows at Alexandra Palace.
Tickets for the gigs go on general sale at 10am on September 2. Disclosure’s full dates are listed below. Check out the band’s official website for further information.
Earlier this month, the Lawrence brothers shared a new track every day from their recent five-track EP, ‘Never Enough’, which was released on August 20. “In My Arms” kicked off the new tracks, followed by “Seduction”, “Another Level” and “It’s Happening” and final track “Never Enough”. The duo released their 2020 EP ‘Ecstasy’ in a similar way.
Speaking about the ideas behind their new EP, Guy Lawrence said: “The spark that ignited the creation of this body of work came from a place of wanting to revitalize a very fractured & uncertain dance music scene & club culture that has changed so much all over the world for obvious reasons in the last 18 months.
“While piecing together initial ideas during the spring of 2021, hope began to glimmer on the horizon for producers & DJs that we may soon be able to gather together again, dancing & listening to music as one, participating in something larger than ourselves.
“So we asked each other… what would we want to hear in those moments? What does that first moment back in a club sound like? What does walking into Shangri-La, Glastonbury at 2 a.m. feel like again? What does a headline show at Reading look like after all the difficulties 2020 brought on our whole industry?”
Reviewing Disclosure’s Reading Festival set at the weekend, NME said: “The brotherly duo have graduated to bona fide festival kings, continuing to take the cues from their heroes The Chemical Brothers, who’ve been able to walk into a headlining set anywhere on the planet for the last two decades.
Disclosure play the following London shows in 2022:
MARCH 2 – Heaven, London
MARCH 4 – Brixton Academy, London
MARCH 5 – Alexandra Palace, London.
