London's Nilüfer Yanya had a triumphant 2019, releasing her distinctive debut album Miss Universe to global acclaim and selling out tour dates across Europe and North America. Nilüfer will return to the U.S. this summer, with headlining dates in June around her performances at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee and Nelsonville Music Festival in Ohio. New dates include shows at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, Black Cat in DC, and Lincoln Hall in Chicago. All dates are below, and tickets for the June headlining tour will go on sale this Friday, March 13 at 10am ET HERE.
Nilüfer is also opening four UK dates for King Krule later this month, including already sold-out dates in Glasgow, Manchester, and London's famous Brixton Academy.
