Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES has announced a solo tour. “For a long time, I couldn’t imagine ever doing anything outside of CHVRCHES,” Mayberry says in an announcement video, which you can watch below. “Since I was 15 years old, I have always, only, ever been in a band. I always wanted so badly to belong somewhere — to be one of the boys, and to fit in. But as I sail / stumble through this era of my life (your 20s really do go by in a flash, kids), it has started to feel like there are things I want to write and say and do that need to be done on my own.”
Mayberry also says to CHVRCHES fans, don’t worry, the band is not breaking up. “We are all confident that the CHVRCHES story has many more pages yet to be written.”
Lauren’s tour begins on Labor Day in Washington, DC and then hits Brooklyn for a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on September 16, followed by Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Urbana, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. She then has UK/EU dates in October.
Tickets for all North American dates go on sale Friday, July 21 at 10 AM local time and all are listed, along with Lauren’s full statement on the tour, below.
