"Britains most innovative, creative and radical popstar" - The Observer
“My feeling is that we certainly come from the same planet: kith and kin. His music sounds like the great unexpressed soundtrack of a great film I want to see – and try to catch every night before I go to sleep…” - Tilda Swinton
“Fantastic, Amazing, I listen to him, I meditate" - Lady Gaga
NEW YORK, NY (April 2, 2026) – Acclaimed UK singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Patrick Wolf brings his cinematic and dynamic performance back to the United States this June. After the success of his ten-week tour in support of his first album in 13 years, Crying The Neck late last year, driving himself across the country, where he discovered not only his fanbase had been waiting all that time, but a brand new one had grown in his absence, he returns with the Tour Of The Beast tour, beginning June 5 in Washington DC. Tickets are on sale now HERE.
Crying the Neck, his seventh album, was an end of summer folkloric odyssey set in the landscape at the end of the east of England where Wolf lives and works. The Times described the album as “..the best thing he’s done, a bracing art-pop song cycle about death and decay shot through with Wolf’s shape-changing baritone and English and Celtic folklore…” and Spin called it “A cleansing, literary, and intricate album, Crying the Neck not only feels like a rebirth for one of this century’s most unique artists, but perhaps the melancholy statement we need to meet these difficult times."
The tour coincides with two new songs that will be released marking a new chapter in the evolution of Patrick Wolf’s music. Fans will see Wolf play to intimate standing room only venues where his solo show brings the attendees an astounding collision of genres and musical storytelling featuring live electronics driving the rhythm alongside his multi-instrumentation, playing Appalachian mountain dulcimer, 5 string viola, piano, lyre, folk and electronic guitar and of course all just the backing to his inimitable multi-octave voice and deep narrative baritone. Much of the wardrobe he is bringing is designed and created by Wolf himself and based on the characters of his songs.
“Meeting what my audience had become in my 13 years away from the United States gave me an electric shock of inspiration,” said Wolf. “As I listened to them tell me that my music gave them a sense of being less alone in this bewildering world. So, I slowly began adding in more songs from my catalogue into to my setlist that held this message and by the end of that tour, I knew I needed to come back sooner than I had expected and what kind of energy and vision to bring with me. Over winter, I finished writing two new songs that stand alone forming the backbone of the Tour Of The Beat setlist and will serve as a bridge to the next album. I received so much love and empowerment from my 2025 North American tour that I cannot wait to return and give my all. The Tour Of The Beast is a tour for the outcast, the pariah, the one with the scarlet letter they are only just learning to wear with pride.”
Patrick Wolf has achieved massive success and critical acclaim from journalists around the world since he released his first EP at the age of 19, a groundbreaking debut of classical, folk and electronic music that set the pace for a stellar decade, releasing seven self-produced and solely written albums and performing multiple laps around the globe on tour, amassing an ever growing and dedicated, spellbound audience. A viola, piano, dulcimer, harp, lyre and tenor guitar player, Wolf’s decade of critically acclaimed work, touring, joining Patti Smith's band, collaborations with Florence Welch, Marianne Faithful, Angelo Badalamenti, and rapid, stellar ascent led to a sudden retreat from the industry where a decade of personal trial ended with a renaissance and reconnection with his work and vocation, documented in an upcoming feature film biopic documentary slated for release at the end of this year executive produced by Tilda Swinton.
