La Roux’s 2027 ‘Old Flames’ tour spans UK, Europe, and North America
La Roux Gears Up for Global Journey with Introspective Album ‘Old Flames‘
Synth-pop icon La Roux, real name Elly Jackson, is set to embark on a major global tour in 2027, marking a new chapter for the artist as she prepares to unleash her fourth studio album, ‘Old Flames’.
The forthcoming tour spans the UK, Europe, and North America, promising fans a journey that mirrors the deeply personal themes explored in the new record. Jackson has confirmed that she is eager to bring the world of ‘Old Flames’ to audiences on stage, encapsulating a period of intense emotional processing and self-discovery.
‘Old Flames’ is not just a collection of catchy synth-driven tracks; it is a raw reflection on life, love, and identity. The album delves into the complex experience of navigating forbidden relationships, the loneliness that accompanies addiction, and the struggle to reconcile sexuality and identity when in the public eye. The record itself weaves in references ranging from David Lynch and Donnie Darko, capturing a sound that is both deeply nostalgic and strikingly forward-facing.
Before diving into the music, Jackson has shared that the album process was intensely personal. She explained that ‘Old Flames’ represents a significant step in processing past behaviors and saying a heartfelt farewell to the way she had previously behaved in love and life. As she put it, the record is about admitting what she got wrong and coming to terms with where she stands now.
The sound of the album is built on a nostalgic foundation, drawing inspiration from tropical ’80s style pop, often evoking the classic sounds of artists like George Michael. Singles such as ‘Lose Myself’, ‘Babyline’, and ‘Cabin Fever’ served as previews of the emotional depth Jackson was exploring on the record.
This introspective period is also reflected in Jackson’s recent openness about her own journey. She has previously shared that she had experienced a “nervous breakdown” and took a necessary break from the limelight, a vulnerability that now informs the honesty woven into ‘Old Flames’.
The scale of the forthcoming tour underscores the significance of this new work. The schedule is ambitious, starting in Toronto on January 31, heading across the US in February, and then moving into Europe in March. The journey includes major stops across North America, from Boston and New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco, followed by dates across Europe in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, and the UK before concluding with a homecoming show at Electric Brixton in London on March 24.
The tour itinerary is a testament to the anticipation surrounding the album. Fans in the UK and Europe can purchase tickets for the European and UK legs now, while North American tickets will become available shortly thereafter. This global trek promises a powerful live experience for everyone who connects with La Roux’s uniquely immersive and emotional sound.
