Prior to the launch of their debut LP Bright Green Field (out May 7th), Squid have announced a UK tour titled “Fieldworks” starting from the 19th May 2021. This tour is set to feature material from the aforementioned album for the first time as well as the chance to witness “Squid’s creative process first-hand”.

The band states:

With all this time rooted in one place we’ve been hard at work writing new music together. We thought that this little tour of places, off the beaten track, would be a great opportunity to show you all some new tunes and some REALLY new tunes. We can’t wait to play some places that aren’t on the traditional touring circuit and see all your faces.

A pre-sale is available through the pre-order of Bright Green Field from Squid StoreBleep or Bandcamp by Monday 26th April or by signing up to the band’s mailing list (no purchase necessary).
