One of the biggest names to put Reading on the map in recent months, SONGER, has announced a tour to promote his forthcoming fourth studio album SKALA.

The headline UK and European tours commencing from May, with a stop in Dublin on the 20th at the Button Factory. He recently performed at Dublin’s Workman’s Club in January just gone.

“The whole Dublin culture, that work ethic and the grit and the spirit,” SONGER recently told Hot Press' Laura Klepeisz. “That’s amazing. I want to at least have a tiny little scratch on it.”

Releasing on April 21st 2023, the 15-track-project sees features from grime’s greatest D Double E ('4:59'), local Reading rapper Daneo ('Soft Spot'), and London risers TWYCE and Mani DM (“Ease The Pain”).

The album will release on SONGER’s own label Hard Reality, as per his previous albums Dream Workz, Lyrics For Sanity and most recently The Sunrise Project.

From May 14th, SONGER will be taking the album on an 8-date tour of the UK weeks after its release, which will include a night at London’s very own Scala, his biggest London venue to date. His debut tour last November 2022 was an immediate sell out, with an additional Omeara, London date added due to demand.

The UK tour will be imminently followed by six dates across Europe this June, with stops at key cities Dublin, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Paris to mark his debut headline European tour.
