Freya Beer – heading to Manchester next month
Goth-pop priestess – FREYA BEER – has shared details of a run of UK live dates for Winter 2023, including support slots with Honeyblood and two full-band headline shows.
Fresh off the back of her US debut with a full-band show in New York City last month. Freya Beer will embark on new territory this October as she hits the road as solo special guest to Honeyblood in Oxford, Milton Keynes and London. She will also play two full-band shows in Winchester and Manchester this November, with more in the pipeline.
Ever building up her loyal live following, Freya also played key slot at Latitude Festival earlier this year, and regularly plays headline shows at key London venues including the Old Blue Last and Colours Hoxton. This Spring she also shared two brand new singles “Fantasy” and “Galore”.
Hailed as a “raw and thrilling talent”, Freya Beer is a singer-songwriter from West London. Inspired by art, literature, alternative fashion and music, Freya distils her disparate influences through a gothic soul and devil-may-care spirit that dares to dream in the darkness.
Having sparked a wave of attention from the get-go with her self-released debut single “Bike Boy”’ and follow-up “Six Months” in 2018, Freya earned a BBC Introducing Live Lounge Session and a feature on Tom Robinson’s BBC Radio 6 Music show — and so the roller coaster began.
With the wind in her sails, Freya launched her own label Sisterhood Records in 2019 as a vehicle to further her creativity. In 2020, she released the single “Dear Sweet Rosie” with the track drumming up further support from BBC 6 Music as well as a live session on Marc Riley’s show (which was then highlighted as one of his “Best of the Year” that December). Renowned music critic John Robb also hailed her as ‘New Artist of the Day’ on his Louder Than War site and predicted a Mercury Prize in years to come.
Revealing her many shades with a series of exquisite lockdown cover versions, Freya bookended 2020 with the acclaimed single “Arms Open Wide”, which was placed in PRS for Music’s Top 20 songs of the year. Discovering new audiences and in-turn more about herself as an artist, Freya released her debut album ‘Beast’ in October 2021 to unanimous fanfare.
Now with further new music set to be unveiled soon, fans can catch Freya Beer both at her headline shows and supporting Honeyblood this October/November. Full dates and details below.
