Circa Waves Announce New Intimate Shows to Raise Money for Local Foodbanks

Electric Liverpudlian band Circa Waves have recently announced 8 intimate shows around the UK as the second part of their UK tour to raise money for local foodbanks.

 

Described by the band as "some of their most intimate shows ever", this mini-tour will see them play in Grimsby, Carlisle, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Southampton, Preston, Norwich, and Cardiff in October. 

Following a hugely successful first segment of their tour that saw its busy final show in at Aberdeen’s Music Hall, this more intimate set of shows is definitely not one to miss.

 

Circa Waves made it to number 4 in the UK charts in 2020 with the song ‘Sad Happy’, and went on to top the UK Independent Albums Chart with ‘Never Going Under’ in January this year. Fans can expect to hear the vibrant, rock-infused tunes of the latest album at this tour, as well as some of the band's biggest hits like ‘T-Shirt Weather’, ‘Be Your Drug’, and ‘Movies’. Having come a long way since their very first album ‘Young Chasers’, they have found a perfect balance of exploring new sounds and sticking with the gritty, powerful energy that made fans love them in the first place.

 

A portion of the profits from these gigs will be donated to local foodbanks, and this an effort that is extremely close to the band’s heart. “Food banks are immeasurably important, they are the last line,” they said, “without them, people will simply struggle to eat". 

With the cost of living crisis affecting people across the country, this support from a band not only helps those in need, but means fans attending the shows can know they're doing their bit to support the band and those suffering - "we hope to make a difference, no matter how small".

The foodbanks these profits will go to are Grimsby's Feed the Community, Carlisle Foodbank, Bedford Foodbank, MK Foodbank, Southampton City Mission, Noor Foodbank, Norwich Foodbank, and Cardiff Foodbank.
