Daisy Chute

Heather Nova plus Daisy Chute Bristol Beacon, Lantern Hall Heather Nova first hit the airwaves in 1994 when her breakout album, Oyster, was released. The cool, infectious songs of Oyster put her firmly on the indie-pop map, and charted worldwide, and she has been making critically acclaimed albums and touring ever since. But what really garnered Heather a loyal following has been her live performances; known for a voice that is both incredibly powerful but is also often described as ‘angelic’, she plays major rock festivals with full band as impressively as she captivates audiences in intimate theatres with just a cellist as accompaniment. She has toured consistently in the 30-plus years since starting out, and her shows continue to sell out quickly. ‘Live music transcends the sum of its parts,’ she says. ‘There is a magic that happens that I am not fully in control of; I just let go, open up, and allow the music to come through me. The audience brings their emotions and their energy, and the synergy is born.’ This tour will be an eclectic mix of acoustic, cello driven tracks combined with synths, beats and percussion. She will perform a combination of brand new material from her forthcoming album, as well as older ‘fan favourites’. ‘Live music has a more significant role than ever these days,’ says Heather. ‘Concerts create a moment of unification, community, and harmony, when there is so much division in the wider world today.’ Tour support comes from Daisy Chute. Scottish/American singer-songwriter Daisy Chute has found a loyal following through her award-winning songwriting and ‘gorgeous’ vocals (Guy Garvey, Elbow). 2024 brought with it a Grammy Award for her involvement in The Birdsong Project and she also has received FATEA’s EP of the year award for Songs of Solace. Collaborations have led to co-release singles/tours with Hollie Rogers, The Dunwells, Ed Blunt, Lady Nade and James Walker in 2024, while an album is due in 2025. Selling out shows across the UK, Europe and US, Daisy can be spotted with a guitar or banjo at top arts venues and festivals like Black Deer and Glastonbury. This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
