As we remain in ‘planning for the year’ mode, you might wish to turn your attention towards one of the London shows of the summer as Japanese Breakfast takes to Brixton Academy on July 3 as part of a European and North American tour.
Also hitting Glasgow and Manchester, the indie pop act fronted by Michelle Zauner (who is also the bestselling author of Crying In H Mart) announced the shows alongside a brand new record, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). It will mark the first Japanese Breakfast gigs on UK soil for two years, after a headline performance at the Camden Roundhouse in June 2023.
