Suzanne Vega - Flying With Angels ***SOLD OUT***

Returning to the UK for the first time since her sold-out and critically acclaimed 2023 tour, Suzanne Vega will perform a career-spanning show including favorites like Tom’s Diner, Luka, and many more, plus new material from her forthcoming album Flying with Angels (May 2025). She will be joined on stage by her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard (of David Bowie fame), and cellist Stephanie Winters. Suzanne’s set will be proceeded by special guest, Katherine Priddy.
Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk revival of the early 1980s. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Vega sang what has been called contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world’s best-known venues. Known for performances that convey deep emotion, Vega’s distinctive, “clear, unwavering voice” (Rolling Stone) has been described as “a cool, dry sandpaper-brushed near-whisper” by The Washington Post, with NPR Music noting that she “has been making vital, inventive music” throughout the course of her decades-long career.
Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observes the world with a clinically poetic eye” (The New York Times), Vega’s songs have tended to focus on city life, ordinary people and real-world subjects. Notably succinct and understated, her work is immediately recognizable—as utterly distinct and thoughtful as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 30 years ago.
Suzanne will be preceded by Katherine Priddy, whose star has risen since Richard Thompson called her “The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Year” in Mojo Magazine, with her second album The Pendulum Swing earning critical acclaim and topping the UK Folk Charts. A sought-after performer, she has played major festivals while her music continues to win praise for its rich, genre-crossing sound.
