Brandi Carlile – Human Tour 2027
Brandi Carlile returns to the UK with her "Human Tour 2027," promising an intimate yet powerful journey through the alt-country and Americana sounds that have defined her distinctive artistry. Hailing from Washington State, Carlile has become a pivotal figure in blending folk-rock grit with deeply personal country storytelling. Her emotive voice and narrative lyricism captured hearts globally with her breakthrough hit "The Story" — a song that continues to resonate across generations and genres.
At the core of Carlile’s artistry is a profound connection to country’s heritage, notably through her work with the trailblazing country supergroup The Highwomen alongside Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby. Beyond collaborations, her co-production work on Tanya Tucker's Grammy-winning comeback album While I’m Livin’ further cements her integral role within the Nashville scene and country music fabric.
Included in her 2027 tour repertoire will be selections from her latest album, Returning to Myself, released in October 2025. This critically noted eighth studio album sees Carlile exploring themes of family and queer identity with collaborators such as Aaron Dessner, Andrew Watt, and Justin Vernon. The album synthesises the artist's trademark storytelling with layered productions, offering UK audiences a fresh perspective on her evolving sound.
Joining Carlile on this UK leg is Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, a dynamic performer known for her folk-rooted storytelling blended with infectious pop-rock energy. With hits like "Suddenly I See" and "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," Tunstall complements the bill with her melodic instincts and rootsy acoustic flair — elements that country music fans have long embraced. Her captivating live presence and songwriting finesse ensure a richly textured concert experience paired alongside Carlile’s powerful anthems.

This celebration of Americana and alt-country unfolds within The Halls, Wolverhampton — a prominent venue known for hosting a broad spectrum of live music excellence.

Its standing as a notable Midlands music venue provides an inviting space for Carlile’s compelling vocal performances and Tunstall’s dynamic set, ensuring the resonance of lyrics and musicianship is felt powerfully throughout the hall.
To my friends in the UK and Europe, I need to let you know that due to personal circumstances, I have no choice but to reschedule my UK and European tour from this fall to the spring 2027.
Brandi Carlile’s "Human Tour 2027" offers UK country fans a rare opportunity to connect with an artist who bridges Nashville tradition and the modern Americana movement, embodying a voice both authentic and innovative.
