Beth Orton returns with a new UK headline tour following the announcement of her latest album, The Ground Above. One of the most distinctive voices in British music, Orton continues to evolve her sound across folk, electronica and indie songwriting.
The 2026 tour marks her first major run since Weather Alive (2022), bringing new material and fan favourites to stages across the UK.
EYRE LLEW
When: Saturday 19th September 2026 (The Nest, Nottingham)
