Off the back of their charting album, BOB VYLAN have announced a headline tour this Autumn which takes in twelve dates around the UK before heading off to Europe.
“Humble As The Sun is an album meant to empower. Not just individually but collectively. People have been living with the album individually but it’s soon time to experience it collectively as we travel the country and continent sharing these songs, and of course, favourites from previous albums, with the beautiful community that has been built around the live shows.” says Bob Vylan.
Bob Vylan will perform live on Later…with Jools Holland this Saturday 25th May on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
BOB VYLAN, released their new, critically acclaimed and independently released album ‘Humble As The Sun’ via Ghost Theatre. Powerful and confronting but with so much light, this record shows their ever-evolving sound.
Once again, the record charted, selling more in its first week than any previous record. Humble As The Sun was 22 in the Official Album Chart, 1 in the Hip-Hop + R&B chart, 3 Independent chart, 2 Scottish Albums chart, 3 Independent albums chart, 7 physical charts, 6 album downloads chart, 5 record store chart, 6 vinyl chart and 7 album sales chart.
‘Humble as the Sun’, continues with much of the rage and urgency that they have come to be known and loved for, but this latest project shows that they are now stronger and wiser, bolstered by the wins and learnings that they have fought hard for along the way. The resulting record aims to leave the listener feeling power alongside their anger, and brings a fresh and compelling blend of punk, rock, grime and rap together in an experimental way.
“Humble As The Sun is a positive self-affirming album created after conversations and meditations with and in the Sun and nature. We want this album to uplift, inspire and bring positivity to peoples lives while continuing to highlight issues many of us are facing in this political and economic crisis.” – BOB VYLAN
Following on from the MOBO award-winning and chart-topping album, ‘Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life’, the message woven throughout ‘Humble as the Sun’ remains dark in places but is high-energy, defiant and unapologetic in its critique of a broken social and political system that so many have fallen victim to, but feel powerless against.
BOB VYLAN has celebrated a variety of media support including the current print cover of DIY Magazine, Kerrang! cover, Rolling Stone, NME, Clash, 6Music (3 b-list singles in a row & 1 A list), BBC Radio 1, MTV, Radio X, Tape Notes, The Guardian, Wonderland and so much more.
