Gibbons’ newly announced US tour will mark her first time performing in North America since Portishead’s 2011 tour 13 years ago. The tour is in support of her debut solo album ‘Lives Outgrown’.
In a four-star review of the album, NME shared: “On ‘Lives Outgrown’ Gibbons uses this history to her advantage. She cannily foregrounds the weather-beaten gravitas of her vocal at each turn, its familiarity holding us tight so that, in parallel, she can undercut that feeling of safety by continually pointing out the grains of sand falling into the wrong half of the hourglass.” The album also earned the 26th spot on NME‘s 50 Best Albums of 2024 list.
In other news, Gibbons recently announced a London show at the Roundhouse which is set to occur on the same weekend as Glastonbury 2025. She was also announced as a performer at the 2025 edition of Flow Festival.
