Rina Sawayama is set to play her biggest headline show to date at London’s Roundhouse this November. The singer has also rescheduled her scrapped 2020 gigs, which will now kick-off in Glasgow on March 14.

‘SAWAYAMA’ features in NME‘s 20 Best Albums Of 2020 list and received a glowing five-star review upon its release.

“Drawing on every aspect of her identity, Sawayama creates an expansive musical account of her personal history, all bolstered by her impressive experimental song-writing techniques,” wrote Hannah Mylrea. “And on top of that, she’s somehow managed to make nu-metal sound effortlessly cool.”
