“Two thrilling, shape-shifting hours.”
—Boston Globe
“Enthralling… hypnotic… entrancing.”
—Consequence
“Created a sensation of disbelief that so few people could be creating such soundscapes during the 100 minutes the band held the stage.”
–FLAUNT
“arena-ready art-rock mode… engrossing.”
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“elevated the audience with their ethereal quality and made the crowd forget their bodies had any weight at all.”
–The Big Takeover
“It is still hard to believe the weight and power of the music on display by just three people… truly was an enchanting display of musicianship.”
–Live Music Daily
Having just completed a triumphant tour, The Smile have confirmed a new run of North American dates for summer 2023. Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner will kick off the 14-date excursion on June 22nd with the band’s first ever show in Mexico City. The tour will then proceed throughout the United States and Canada, marking The Smile’s debut live performances in every city they play—with the exception of their return to New York where they’ll headline Forest Hills Stadium on July 7th.
For a complete list of tour dates, see below.
For those who can’t make it out to one of these shows, The Smile are also releasing a limited edition live EP simply titled Europe: Live Recordings 2022. True to its title, the EP is comprised of live recordings of fan favorites from The Smile’s widely acclaimed debut album, A Light For Attracting Attention, as well as the band’s rendition of Thom’s 2009 solo track “FeelingPulledApartByHorses.” Europe: Live Recordings was recorded in various cities over the course of The Smile’s first ever tour this past summer. Replace the needles and cartridges on your turntables as this release, out March 10th via XL Recordings, is vinyl only.
