The Kansas City-based indie singer-songwriter, real name Katie Crutchfield, will bring her show across the Atlantic, kicking off in Glasgow’s Barrowland on June 8, before heading to Manchester and Bristol. The final show will take place in London’s Eventim Apollo on June 11, her biggest UK headline show so far.

Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Friday (November 22) and you will be able to get yours here.

JUNE 2025

Waxahatchee will also be playing at Primavera Sound in Barcelona next year on June 6, followed by Primavera Porto in Portugal on June 13.

The sixth Waxahatchee studio album, ‘Tigers Blood’, was released in March. In a five-star review, NME wrote: “These songs offer a more adult and grounded perspective than ones like ‘Lone Star Lake’ and ‘Evil Spawn’; they’re about the person who feels like home rather than the one who gets your blood pumping. It’s a nice counterweight that feels emblematic of ‘Tigers Blood’ — it’s a burning fire, and it’s a warm summer evening at once.”

It went on to be named as one of NME’s best albums of 2024 so far. The album has also been nominated for a Grammy for Best Americana Album

NME spoke to Crutchfield ahead of the release of ‘Tigers Blood’. Reflecting on the inspiration for the record’s lyrics, she explained: “With ‘Tiger’s Blood’, I was just doing really well. I’m in my mid-thirties and things are just quite peaceful right now. So it was really hard for me when I didn’t have that clean narrative of what to write about.”

“I think what I was scared of was it being boring or mundane,” she reflects. “I’m at an age now where my life is less dramatic. When you’re in your twenties, it’s all chaos and melodrama, which is gorgeous fodder for songwriting. Now, it would feel really inauthentic for me to write about that type of thing. That’s just not really what my day-to-day life is like anymore.”
