Belle & Sebastian Announce 30th Anniversary Shows
First released in 1996, both records have long-since attained mythic status – “greatest of all time” list fixtures with songs that have spent decades populating mixtapes and playlists. Pitchfork called Tigermilk “immaculate” and The Guardian praised If You’re Feeling Sinister as “subtly poetic, wickedly funny, and gorgeously melodic.”
Each evening will focus on one record, followed by a second set of classic B&S tunes. On 4 April; the band will perform their 1996 debut album ‘Tigermilk’, before returning on 5 April to perform their sophomore album ‘If You’re Feeling Sinister’. Both nights will also see the band perform a host of fans favourites from across their 30 year career.
Last year, Stuart Murdoch released his debut novel, Nobody’s Empire, which the Guardian praised as, “Radiantly written.” In 2023, Belle and Sebastian released Late Developers, the second of two back-to-back albums following 2022’s A Bit of Previous. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band’s brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate, but possessing that B&S je ne sais quoi. “Like If You’re Feeling Sinister, this is a near simultaneous follow-up that’s somehow even better than its acclaimed predecessor,” wrote Pitchfork.
