Info
With a career spanning six decades, Robyn Hitchcock remains a one-of-a-kind artist: surrealist rock ’n’ roller, troubadour, guitarist, poet, painter and performer. An individualistic songwriter and stylist, Hitchcock has traversed many genres with humor, intelligence and originality over more than 30 albums and countless live performances.
From The Soft Boys’ proto-psych-punk and The Egyptians’ Dadaist pop to solo albums like 1984’s I Often Dream of Trains and 1990’s Eye, Hitchcock has crafted an original body of work with sagacious observation, astringent wit, recurring marine life, mechanised rail services, cheese, Clint Eastwood and many finely drawn characters, real and imagined.
Tour support comes from Emma Swift. Emma Swift is an Australian-born songwriter, currently residing in Nashville, TN. A singer inspired by Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull and a range of poets, her sound is a blend of classic folk, Americana and indie rock. In August 2020, she released Blonde on the Tracks, a Laurel Canyon-inspired reimagining of some of her favourite Bob Dylan tunes on Tiny Ghost Records. Her album The Resurrection Game was released on Tiny Ghost Records in September 2025.
