After returning to U.K. stages for the first time in a decade last fall for a handful of shows, Karl Wallinger will take World Party out on a proper tour of his home country this spring, performing 11 concerts across two weeks in April in support of last year’s 5CD box set Arkeology — which features 70 previously unreleased tracks.
The tour opens April 14 in Cardiff and wraps up April 29 in Glasgow, hitting eight other cities in between, with two performances slated for London (see full dates below).
In addition to the U.K. concerts last fall, Wallinger brought the current incarnation of World Party to the U.S. three times last year, playing radio sets and record stores last spring to promote the box set’s release, and then two short runs of concerts in September and December.
