Kishi Bashi « 10th Anniversary Sonderlust Tour »

Kishi Bashi marks ten years of Sonderlust with a dedicated performance at Kings Place, London, on 22 August 2026, playing the album in full. Composer, singer and violinist Kaoru Ishibashi steps back into the record that pulled him away from intricate violin looping toward vintage synths, warmer textures and a more open, vulnerable register.

Written in a moment of creative and personal reckoning, Sonderlust leans into pulse and melody as it looks at love, desire and the urge to connect. A decade on, he returns to these songs with fresh ears, revisiting early demos and trusting the instincts that shaped the album’s intimate yet expansive feel.

On stage, Kishi Bashi reimagines Sonderlust through the lens of his evolving craft, bridging chamber pop, indie pop and gentle electronics. Expect lithe violin lines, layered harmonies and synth-driven grooves that bring new contours to the tracklist while staying close to its core. It’s a chance to hear the record front to back, alive again and shaped by time.
