Arlo Parks Maps Out North American Tour Dates for Fall 2021 Supporting Debut LP ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams’

In late January, 20-year-old English singer/songwriter Arlo Parks released Collapsed in Sunbeams, her full-length debut album. A revelatory and emotionally nuanced collection of melancholy indie/pop, the album came with much anticipation, especially after Parks amassed attention with a series of single releases over the past year-plus.

This coming fall, Parks will head out on a string of North American tour dates (pending any further schedule changes affected by the state of the COVID-19 pandemic, of course), and on Monday Parks reveled a full slate of shows. Included in the itinerary are a few already sold-out shows, such as both stops in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.

I’m coming to North America!!! This has been a dream of mine for a while now & I’m so excited to hop the pond & share space with you all. Sign up to my mailing list to get access to the Tues pre-sale n secure your spot ✨ General sale is on Friday! https://t.co/rklXvNOubh pic.twitter.com/ZQkBM2qt2h

As for Collapsed in Sunbeams, it’d be best if you gave it a listen if you haven’t yet.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Collapsed in Sunbeams will make Arlo Parks a star. It’s fresh, invigorating and deep, and the musical exploration she and Buccellati embark on throughout the record hits a target that might otherwise have seemed unattainable.

“My album is a series of vignettes and intimate portraits surrounding my adolescence and the people that shaped it,” Parks said of the album and its inspiration. “It is rooted in storytelling and nostalgia – I want it to feel both universal and hyper specific.”

It succeeds on both levels, and then some.
