Album Release and UK Show Announcement
Phoebe Bridgers’ third solo album, Lost Weekend, is scheduled for release on August 14 via Dead Oceans. To mark the launch, she has announced a series of intimate, phone-free performances across the United Kingdom. The run begins with two shows at London’s Union Chapel on Monday, August 17, her first solo London set since 2022, and continues with dates at Circuit in Kingston (August 19), Resident Records’ Chalk in Brighton (August 20), and Electric Bristol (August 21).
Show Details and Format
Each venue will host a matinee and an evening concert, with doors opening at 4 p.m. for the matinee and the main show starting at 7:30 p.m. Both performances are expected to run about 45 minutes. The lineup consists solely of Bridgers, delivering material from the new record.
Phone-Free Policy
All four locations will enforce a strict “no phones” rule. Attendees must place phones, smartwatches, cameras and similar devices into Yondr pouches upon entry; the pouches are reopened after the performance. The policy mirrors Bridgers’ recent U.S. gigs and is outlined on the event page cited by Secret LDN.
Context: Album and Recent Appearances
“Lost Weekend” follows 2020’s *Punisher* and was previewed by the lead single “Lost Boys.” Bridgers performed two versions of the single on *The Tonight Show* and debuted three new songs at a solo show in Roswell, New Mexico, her first solo live appearance in three years. Critics have praised the album as an ambitious return, noting its personal lyricism and experimental instrumentation.
Upcoming Tour and Ticket Information
Later in the year Bridgers will embark on a full-scale tour of North America, the UK and Europe, with Alex G supporting U.S. dates and Isaac Wood joining the UK/European leg. For the London shows, tickets become available via DICE on August 13 at 10 a.m. for the evening performance and on August 14 at 10 a.m. for the matinee, per Secret LDN. Additionally, more than 300 midnight album-release parties are slated worldwide for August 13, allowing fans to hear the record together for the first time.
