Lola Young announces live return with intimate London gig
The singer, who won her first Grammy at the weekend, announced last year that she was taking a break from her career to focus on her mental health
Lola Young has announced her return to the stage with details of an intimate London gig set for next month.
Last year, the singer announced that she was taking a break from performing to focus on her mental health. “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future,” Young wrote at the time. The news came a few days after she after collapsed onstage at the All Things Go festival in New York City.
Now, Young will make her return in London with a gig on March 4 at the Palladium. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, February 11 at 10am GMT. You can buy your tickets here.
“I’m going to be playing my first headline show in a while,” Young said in a statement. “Performing live is everything to me and asking you, my fans to show up for me after cancelling my tour is something I don’t take for granted.
“I am planning a small intimate show in London on March 4th at The London Palladium. I’m aware that with this being a one-off show that I can’t accommodate tickets for everyone who bought them previously. I can only hope that in time when I’m able to play bigger shows that you’ll still be willing.”
She added: “Thank you all so much for believing in me, and giving me this time and space.”
Last weekend, Young won her first Grammy Award, picking up Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit single ‘Messy’.
Collecting the award from Charli XCX, she said: “You can tell by my fucking face that I’m very, very grateful for this.”
Young is also nominated for five awards at this month’s BRIT Awards in Manchester. She’s up for Artist of the Year, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for ‘Messy’, Alt/Rock Act and Pop Act.
