Acclaimed poet, playwright and recording artist Kae Tempest has announced a string of intimate in-store appearances across the UK this July to celebrate the release of their powerful fifth studio album, ‘Self Titled’, out July 4 via Island Records. Among the standout dates is a special performance and signing at Brighton’s own Resident Music on July 8.
This highly anticipated new album sees Tempest at their most raw and reflective, exploring identity, selfhood, and transformation with signature lyrical depth and musical innovation.
Following the release, Tempest will also embark on a full UK and EU tour, culminating in a major night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on November 8 — a landmark show for an artist known for electrifying live performances.
Brighton fans will have the chance to experience Tempest up close in the intimate setting of Resident Music, one of the UK’s most celebrated independent record shops. The instore will offer an exclusive glimpse into ‘Self Titled’ just days after its release — expect spoken-word magic, new material, and a deep connection with fans.
