Brandi Carlile – Human Tour 2027
Brandi Carlile’s reputation as a singular figure in the alt-country and Americana scene is well-earned, and live she never fails to communicate the raw emotional power that has endeared her to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. With her intimate yet anthemic music—deeply rooted in folk-rock grit yet enriched by clear country storytelling—she brings a rare authenticity and strength that UK country fans have long embraced.
This show is part of the Brandi Carlile – Human Tour 2027, a series of performances showcasing her dynamic range from vulnerable ballads to soaring, arena-filling moments. Carlile’s latest studio album, Returning to Myself, released in October 2025, offers a further layer to her artistry, exploring themes of family and queer identity through ten carefully crafted tracks co-produced with Aaron Dessner, Andrew Watt, and Justin Vernon. For those who have admired her work with The Highwomen or her collaborations with Nashville legends like Tanya Tucker, this tour reaffirms her deep ties to the country community while highlighting her ability to transcend genre boundaries.
As a founding member of The Highwomen, Carlile has helped champion female voices in country music, often in a male-dominated arena, reinforcing her commitment to authentic storytelling and musical craft. UK fans may first know her by the haunting vulnerability of "The Story," but her catalogue offers much more—a breadth of heartfelt narratives supported by her powerfully soaring vocals.
Joining her on this tour is KT Tunstall, one of Scotland’s most distinctive voices, whose blend of folk-rooted storytelling and pop-rock sensibility complements Carlile’s Americana leanings. Tunstall’s career spans over two decades, marked by memorable hits like "Suddenly I See" and a songwriting style imbued with emotional openness and acoustic grit. Her presence adds a further layer of depth to the evening, offering UK country audiences a bridge between Celtic roots and Nashville-inflected storytelling.
Eventim Apollo, London
The venue for this occasion, the Eventim Apollo, known formerly as the Hammersmith Apollo, stands as an iconic live entertainment space in London. An art deco Grade II* listed building originally built as a cinema, it has long been a celebrated site for performances, blending historic grandeur with excellent acoustics and live experience. For this night, it provides a fitting backdrop to showcase Carlile’s emotionally charged set and Tunstall’s unique sound, enhancing the connection between artist and audience in a space known for its vibrant musical heritage.
"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."
