Yola Announces 2022 Headline Tour Dates
Yola has announced an early Spring 2022 headlining tour in support of her newly released sophomore album, Stand for Myself.
The trek launches on February 8th with a show at Boston’s Big Night Live, and continues through an April 27th show at Las Vegas House of Blues. Stops in between include a two-night stand at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, plus dates in Philadelphia, Richmond, Asheville, Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and more.
“Considering how much fun we’ve had playing Stand for Myself live on these returning summer shows, I cannot wait to get out on the road in February and see all of your beautiful faces as we play songs from this record and more,” said Yola in a press statement.
The summer concerts include a record release show at a Newport Folk Festival afterparty. Yola also has a fall 2021 run lined up supporting Chris Stapleton.
Yolanda Quartey aka Yola received four nominations at the 62nd Grammy Awards, including the all-genre Best New Artist category.
The English singer spent time in her early career as a frontwoman for hire and feature vocalist, for DJ/producers such as Bugz in the Attic, Duke Dumont, Massive Attack, and Sub Focus.
Yola released her first solo EP, Orphan Offering, in 2016. In February 2019, she released her debut album Walk Through Fire on Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label, to much acclaim.
Walk Through Fire generated three Grammy Award nominations. The album was nominated for Best Americana Album and the track “Faraway Look” was nominated for Best American Roots Song and Best American Roots Performance.
