Arlo Parks announces UK shows for the DESIRE TOUR in 2026

Arlo Parks is returning to UK stages in support of her forthcoming third album, Ambiguous Desire

Poetic pop extraordinaire Arlo Parks is returning to UK stages in 2026 with the DESIRE TOUR, in support of her forthcoming third album, Ambiguous Desire.

After embarking on a short stint of intimate shows throughout April to celebrate the album release, Arlo will perform at Glasgow’s Old Fruitmarket, The Prospect Building in Bristol, Manchester’s Albert Hall, and finally a London homecoming gig at Brixton O2 Academy in October.

Whilst her poetic touch and feather-light vocals are still prominent, the first singles from the record in ‘Heaven’ and ‘2SIDED’ both lean into house music and UK garage, sounds that Parks embraced having delved into club culture and nightlife after a break-up.

Discussing the creation of Ambiguous Desire, Parks said: “I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed.

“This record has desire at its center. Desire is a life force, it’s a wanting, a yearning, a momentum – we are all alive because there is something or someone we want – desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.”
