Declan McKenna announces details of huge Royal Albert Hall show in London

Declan McKenna has announced details of a huge new London show – he’ll play the Royal Albert Hall next year.

The singer-songwriter released second album ‘Zeros’ last year, and recently finished up a UK headline tour in support of the record. His show at London’s Brixton Academy back in September has since been turned into a live film, which came out last week.

For the new show at the Royal Albert Hall on May 2 next year, McKenna says that the show is “for one night only” and that he’ll “be joined by a bunch of friends” at the gig.

In terms of future music, McKenna recently confirmed that he will get in the studio with Sam Fender to record a collaboration “at some point”.

The collaboration was originally teased last year but according to McKenna, they’ve both been too busy to make it happen. “We’ve both been doing all sorts of shit,” he told NME backstage at Reading Festival.
