The Twilight Sad have announced a stripped-back winter 2024 UK tour.
The band’s James Graham and Andy MacFarlane are set to perform a series of intimate shows across the UK this December.
Per a press release, fans on their mailing list will have got access to pre-sale tickets yesterday (September 12) “as a thank you” for their support, and tickets will go on general sale here from 10am BST today (September 13).
DECEMBER:
8 – Dunfermline, PJ Molloys
10 – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
11 – Edinburgh, Queen’s Hall
12 – Glasgow, St Luke’s
Before the announcement of the stripped back shows, the band took to Instagram in August to tell fans they had “two pretty big anniversaries coming up” and would be marking the occasion with some special releases.
“It’s been 10 years since we released ‘Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave’, and to celebrate we’re releasing a special limited edition ‘Demos’ version of the album,” they wrote.
“‘Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave – Demos’ features a full album line up of demo tracks, with the original working titles, which were laid down in preparation for recording the official version of the album.
“It blows our mind that ‘Forget The Night Ahead’ is turning fifteen, and we’re marking this one with an eagerly awaited vinyl repress featuring a new variation of the original artwork.”
They’ll be releasing both albums via Fat Cat Records on November 8, with pre-orders for the vinyl and anniversary shirts available here.
Last year, the band supported The Cure across a 30-date North American tour, as well as joining them in appearing at Primavera Sound’s debut in Peru.
Robert Smith had previously described them as “the best band playing the best songs – consistently brilliant, emotional, intense, inspiring, entertaining,” and it was revealed The Twilight Sad were hand-picked to support The Cure on world tour dates.

NBA YoungBoy has faced several hardships in recent years. Along with serving time behind bars, the rapper has also dealt with mental health challenges linked to the painful experiences in his life.
His music has often given listeners insight into that pain. During a recent appearance with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, YoungBoy opened up even further about what he has been going through.
During the conversation, YoungBoy revealed that he no longer plans to live in the United States. He confirmed that he currently resides in South Korea. Although he did not share why he chose that country, his comments suggest he is ready to leave his life in America behind.
Funny Marco asked YoungBoy whether he might ever move back to the United States. The rapper responded with “never in life,” though he admitted that he could return for a visit someday.
Before relocating, YoungBoy lived on a ranch in Utah, where local residents had gradually started becoming more comfortable with him. His new home in South Korea now places him in a completely different cultural environment.
Adjusting to such a major change may not be easy, but YoungBoy has shown his strength and appears confident about where he wants to live. After experiencing so much pain in the United States, he seemingly feels more comfortable keeping his distance.
The move also comes as he deals with serious health concerns involving his heart. The condition remains an ongoing concern, and we hope the artist receives the support he needs as he continues facing this difficult medical situation.
