Antifolk pioneer and underground icon Lach returns to the stage this summer with a bold and unfiltered UK Summer Tour, running from August 27 to September 1, with stops in Leeds, Hull, Derby, Rugby, and Liverpool. This marks Lach’s first tour since departing all Meta platforms - a conscious experiment in digital independence. Eschewing the algorithmic gatekeepers of the modern music industry, Lach is testing whether fans, journalists, and bloggers will rally the old-school way: through word of mouth, genuine enthusiasm, and a shared belief in art outside the military-digital-entertainment complex. Known as the founder of the Antifolk movement, a scene that shaped the careers of artists like Regina Spektor, Beck, and Jeffrey Lewis, Lach’s shows are raw, funny, poetic, and deeply human. His music fuses the punch of punk with the storytelling of folk, and his live performances are legendary for their wit and unpredictability.
