Bat For Lashes

The Mercury Prize-nominated indie favourite returns with her first UK headline tour in five years.

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Natasha Khan burst onto the music scene nearly 20 years ago as Bat For Lashes. In 2009, she released her second album Two Suns to critical acclaim, prompting comparisons to Björk and Kate Bush. With five studio albums under her belt, and two Ivor Novello Awards including Song of the Year 2019, Bat For Lashes is a true innovator of indie pop.

Now, Bat For Lashes returns with The Dream of Delphi, released on 31 May 2024. Named after her young daughter Delphi, this is Khan’s most personal album to date, reflecting on early motherhood across ten spiritual ‘song poems’. Drawing on ancient and devotional love alongside the more mundane aspects of childrearing, The Dream of Delphi invites listeners on a journey through Khan’s most deeply-felt suite of music. Self-produced, this is the first release since signing a new deal with the acclaimed Mercury KX.

We’re thrilled to welcome Bat For Lashes to Aviva Studios for a visionary show blending vocals, movement and elements of performance art in the intimate surrounds of the Hall.
