CELLAR DARLING announce UK/EU tour dates for October 2023


Folk prog trio CELLAR DARLING have revealed details of a run of headline shows throughout the UK and Europe for this October. Support for all shows will come from IAMTHEMORNING and MAER.

The band comments “After the incredible shows we got to share with our fans in the UK and North America at the end of last year, it was time for us to retreat and write new music — and yes, we’ll soon share more on how that is going. But in the meantime, we just can’t sit still! So we decided to fulfil a wish we had for some time and invited the incredible Iamthemorning to share the stage with us for a series of very special autumn evenings. And it just so happens that our very own Anna Murphy has recently released a collaboration with Iamthemorning’s Marjana Semkina in the form of the dark folk/chamber prog project Maer, who will be making an exclusive appearance as well. It’ll be magical and we can’t wait to see you all there!”
