Tove Styrke at Bristol Fleece THIS SUNDAY NIGHT, 28th October
Posted on: 25 Oct 2018Swedish pop artist Tove Styrke announces her first ever UK headline tour this autumn, fresh from the success of her latest album ‘Sway’.
Following her most recent sold out London show, which saw the crowd go wild for Tove, she said; “After the seriously otherworldly experience we had at The Borderline in London 2 weeks ago it feels like such a rush to announce that not only will I be back playing in London (Heaven) again, but also a couple of other cities around the UK. It’s been 3 years since I was supporting Years & Years in the UK where I had such an amazing time and finally I get to see you guys again - on my very first UK headline tour; 'Sway UK Tour’! Can’t wait to sing, dance, hang and sway with you. It’s gonna be a party!”
Tove also releases her new video for ‘On The Low’today. The elegant visuals and warm tones see Tove dancing and singing around in a small room, with the lyrics to the song bouncing along the bottom. The minimalistic set up of the video mirrors the intimate message of the song. Tove said: “I made a mini performance video for ’On The Low’, like a little bonus thing just because I love that song so much. We shot it in London earlier this summer at a bar in East London.”
Still buzzing from a well-deserved ‘Pop Artists of the Year’ win at Sweden’s prestigious P3 Guld Awards in January, Tove Styrke has had an action-packed start to the year. After releasing a stunning coverof Lorde’s ‘Liability’ late last year, Styrke joined the New Zealand artist on her Spring 2018 U.S tour, as well as supporting Katy Perryon her tour across Europe.
