Kings Of Convenience Announce First US Shows In 12 Years, New Erlend Øye Solo LP Out Friday
In 2021, the Norwegian folk duo Kings Of Convenience returned with Peace Or Love, then their first new album in over a decade. The band toured in support of it in Europe, South America, and Asia, but they have not landed stateside yet. But that will change this fall, when Kings Of Convenience play their first US shows since 2011. Their brief tour will kick off in October in New York before heading to DC, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and wrapping up in Los Angeles.
In other Kings Of Convenience news: Erlend Øye, one-half of the duo, is releasing a new solo project this Friday called Winter Companion, made up primarily of tracks that were written in the past few months, and then recorded in Mexico City earlier this year. Øye went into some details about his creative process for the release over on his Instagram.
