Mitski

Japanese-American artist Mitski’s music defies genre - encompassing maximalist pop, foreboding, tense guitar play, and a rich and dramatic orchestral instrumentation, often within the supposed confines of the same song. She is "a richly ambitious writer and arranger who can buttress longing with strange and lovely art-rock” (Los Angeles Times).

Across seven albums, from her breakout, 2016’s Puberty 2, to 2018’s Be The Cowboy - named Album of the Year by Esquire, New York Magazine, Pitchfork and more - and this year’s The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, praised by Billboard as “a studio masterclass," the critical acclaim has remained fervent and absolute. The New York Times has described Mitski’s craft as “strategic, sure-footed, vulnerable and prepared to face all sorts of trouble” and The Telegraph declared Mitski “her generation’s most gifted songwriter”. With The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We’s hit single, “My Love Mine All Mine," Mitski has charted in the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 and top 10 of the UK’s Official Top 100.

On stage, Mitski’s sense of theatre and drama is finessed incorporating step-perfect choreography and interpretative dance. Backed by her band, Mitski is front and center, anchoring fans’ attention with a phantasmagorical presence. It’s a show that has sold out venues across the globe, including multiple nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, consecutive nights in ever-increasing theatre-sized rooms in the UK, a headlining slot at the Pitchfork Music Festival, and an extraordinary show to close The Park Stage at Glastonbury 2022. Every show of her forthcoming 2024 tour is sold out.
