Off the back of three sold out shows in the Autumn and a string of support slots opening for The Libertines, English singer-songwriter Will Varley has announced a UK tour in the Spring of 2025. The tour will happen in the lead up to the release of his 7th studio album, put out alongside his new label MNRK Music Group, home to the likes of The Lumineers, Mt. Joy and Gregory Alan Isakov.
Joined by his formidable new backing band 'The Southern Rust', Varley will be showcasing material from the upcoming album as well as playing plenty of old tunes to boot.
"The crowds we’ve had these last few months absolutely blew us away and as soon as we finished in Berlin I was desperate to do it all again.” enthuses WIll, “I've been working away in the studio for almost a year now, but there's nothing like playing live. It's been a while since I did a proper UK tour like this. I'll be playing at some of the best independent music venues in the world and I can't wait."
Inspired by his natural habitats of America’s Midwest and the coastal plains of East Kent, Will’s 7th album is laden with rich, lyrical tales that speak of hard touring, relationships on the rocks and the rebuilding of minds. Featuring some very special guest appearances, the album continues Varley’s decade long exploration of the human condition, this time focusing on society’s ever-present threat of impending apocalypse, how we marry this with the mundane and the minutiae of our everyday lives and how we can find hope.
