When Honne Concert Tour?
Honne is the name of an English electronic music band formed by Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher. They first appeared in 2014 and gained further recognition after the release of their debut album Warm on a Cold Night. Since then, Honne has been embraced by a dedicated global audience, mesmerized by their blend of soulful downtempo electropop.
New music and tour dates have been anticipated from Honne since the release of ‘Love Me / Love Me Not,’ their second studio album, in 2018. There has been a lot of expectation created regarding the question of whether and when exactly Honne would release a new concert tour. The pair had performed live shows throughout North America, Europe, and Asia for their first two records. However, they have not done a major tour since 2018, except for releasing songs occasionally.
The few indications that were given over the past year suggested that perhaps an Honne concert tour could be in the making. Towards the middle of 2021, Honne started giving previews and pictures of songs and music videos that they were working on. This led to rumors that Honne's third album is expected to be out soon. Further, the two performed at several festivals in the summer of 2021 following a several-year festival ban.
The third album was teased in fall 2021 when Honne revealed that the lead single from the project would be called “What Would You Do?” They also disclosed that a new album would be released in early 2022 with the title, “Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do?” Promises that accompanied the release of a new album indicated that a global concert tour would also be conducted to support this new record.
As of early 2022, there was no information coming from the Honne camp regarding definite touring plans. However, fans have expected that a tour could be announced when the new album which was released in March 2022, was to be released. Veterans of the music scene also believed that Honne would host a large-scale world tour in 2022 just like other bands in their genre.
On February 28, 2022, Honne formally announced the Let’s Just Say US + Canada Tour 2022 to support their upcoming third studio album. It covers May through August 2022, and the starting point is Brooklyn Steel in New York City on May 31. From there, Honne will perform in some other large cities including Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, Atlanta, and others before the final performance in Washington, DC.
In addition to sharing about their massive North American tour, Honne also shared several European festivals for Summer 2022. This includes performances at All Points East Festival in London, Sziget Festival in Budapest, and several other main music festivals in Europe. Additional dates for European and UK tours are anticipated to be unveiled soon to complete the second half of 2022 with the duo continuing the promotion of their latest album across different territories.
Considering the size of the just-announced North American tour and the first European summer festival gigs, one can expect more global touring plans in the future. It would not be surprising if the additional Asian countries, South America, and other European territories were part of the tour as Honne wants to get to people from across the world after their third studio album.
With over a year’s build-up of demand given that Honne has not embarked on a worldwide tour cycle for their album Love Me / Love Me Not, their upcoming Let’s Just Say tour is expected to be one of the most sought-after global concert tours of. Taking into account the vivid essence of the duo’s distinctive electropop music and the touching bond that can be established with the audience, one can only expect that tickets to the new Honne tour dates announced above will become popular and sell out quickly.
