Villanelle

Villanelle have carved a distinctive niche within the British live music landscape, known for their textured sound and evocative songwriting. The group’s reputation is underscored by their recent support slots for major acts, including serving as the main support for Miles Kane across the UK in early 2026, with notable appearances at venues such as the Albert Hall in Manchester, The 1865 in Southampton, Crookes Social Club in Sheffield, and the O2 Academy in Glasgow.

Their presence on major festival bills is equally impressive. In May 2026, Villanelle played at Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington, supporting headliners Blossoms, while their summer itinerary includes a spot at Southsea’s Victorious Festival, where they share the stage with The Black Keys and Bastille. The band is also set to support Deftones at Victoria Park, London in August 2026, further solidifying their trajectory among established names. Villanelle have headlined their own shows too, leading The Magical Mallard Migration Tour across venues in Southampton, London, and Oxford in late 2025.

The act continues to captivate audiences with new material, including the singles “Placebo” (2026), “Measly Means” (2025), and “Hinge” (2025), alongside a catalogue that reaches back to their 1995 album “Pinwheels & Orange Peels.” With headline dates at Scala, Gorilla, and King Tuts as part of their UK tour in November 2026, Villanelle’s calendar is as active as their evolving creative output.
