Tom Misch not to be missed in Birmingham

It's a busy time for Tom Misch at the moment, and one that includes a Birmingham show as part of his European tour.

Don't miss Tom Misch in Birmingham

His new single Water Baby featuring friend and collaborator Loyle Carner is out, his forthcoming debut album Geography is due April 6 through his own Beyond The Groove label/Kobalt Music Recordings, and Birmingham's O2 Institute is the last venue of the UK leg of his European tour on March 11.

If 2017 was a meteoric year for Carner, expect 2018 to be Misch-shaped, with the lauded artist-producer having already sold out two nights at The Roundhouse in London on this tour.

Both Tom and Loyle hail from South London, and are just two of a creative hub of like-minded musicians working together and sharing their talents across their friends’ work. This pool of creativity, that also features the likes of Jordan Rakei, Cosmo Pyke, Carmody, Tom’s sister Laura Misch, and Poppy Ajudha, is noteworthy due to the variety of its talent.

A spokesperson said: "In a world where the stats and numbers game holds such weight, but becomes almost unquantifiable without the context - 140 million streams across Spotify and Apple, since you ask, it’s refreshing to hear a young artist that requires neither the context nor the pre-amble to sound so agreeably in his own lane. It’s dynamic, sonically diverse, and agreeably adventurous."

The Birmingham show is one of the few on the tour which isn't sold out. And tickets are available here.
