Simone White returns to London next week for two live dates, marking her first UK tour in over a decade. With new material, a reworked album, and one show already sold out, here are five things worth knowing.

1. Two London shows — one already sold out

White will play two London dates:

• 26 March — Walthamstow Town Hall
• 28 March — Homegrown (sold out)

Tickets (Walthamstow):

The sold-out Homegrown show suggests strong demand, particularly given her long absence from UK touring

2. A “lost” album finally getting a full release

Her latest record, Letter To The Last Generation, is released on 1 May 2026.

What makes it unusual is its history — originally recorded just before the pandemic, it had a very limited release before effectively disappearing. It has now been:

• Remastered
• Re-sequenced
• Expanded with additional tracks

The result is less a new album and more a recovered one, presented as originally intended.

3. The sound blends genres in an understated way

White’s music sits across:

• Acoustic folk and Americana
• Electronic indie textures
• Baroque and experimental elements

Recent single Blueprint reflects this mix, with string arrangements from composer Brent Arnold and a structure that leans more towards atmosphere than traditional songwriting.

Artists often referenced alongside her include Laurie Anderson, Agnes Obel and Aldous Harding.

4. There’s new material beyond the album

Alongside the album, White is also releasing a new acoustic EP, Hold On, timed with the tour.

It will include:

• Acoustic versions of recent tracks
• New stripped-back recordings
• A more minimal approach compared to the full album

Her recent single Semaphores, her first in five years, also signals a broader return to releasing music after a long gap.

5. A rare chance to see her live in the UK

White hasn’t toured the UK for over ten years, making these dates relatively rare.

The venues themselves reflect that approach — smaller, more intimate spaces rather than large commercial circuits. In her own words, she is focused on:

• Independent venues
• Smaller audiences
• Direct engagement with listeners

It’s also worth noting that physical copies of the album will be available primarily at live shows and independent record shops.
