Following their recently released sixth album ‘Heartthrob’, Tegan and Sara have announced dates for their summer UK tour. The dates – listed as below – follow last year’s tour which included arena dates with The Killers as well as select headline shows.
Featuring production from Greg Kurstin and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, ‘Heartthrob’ saw Tegan and Sara deliver a new exuberant and polished sound, and also represents the first album on which the duo co-wrote much of the material together (in the past, each twin would usually write songs independently of the other).
“No one will confuse this with any of our other records,” says Sara. “It’s got a bigger, bolder, happier sound.” Tegan is explicit about the supersized ambitions motivating the record: “I kept asking myself: Can I hear this in an arena? Can I hear this on a teenager’s iPod as they’re riding the bus to school?”
