Swedish duo First Aid Kit to play Birmingham on their next UK Tour

Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit have announced their UK tour starting later this year. Their newest album Ruins, released in January of this yearadds a more refined dimension to the sister’s work, with more of their heavenly harmonies and folk style.

Last year, the band released a single ‘You Are the Problem Here’, for International Woman’s Day. This song was a long way away from their traditional sound and was instead filled with rage and emotion, inspired by sexual assault and the injustice of the judicial system.

Supporting the Swedish sisters comes from fellow sisters and folk rock band, The Staves, who have toured with Ben Howard, Bon Iver and made an appearance on Later…with Jools Holland.

If talented siblings and music from across the globe all packed into one night sounds ideal then tickets are available here for their show in Birmingham at the O2 Academy on November 7th.

Hello - you'll find me in a library or most likely at a concert. I enjoy music from the likes of Ben Howard to Mallory Knox (and everything in between).
