Billy Nomates has announced a number of UK tour dates for autumn 2025. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Thursday 17 April. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of her UK performances. 

The tour will come in support of Billy Nomates’ (AKA ‘Tor’ Maries) third album Metalhorse, set for release on Friday 16 May via Invada Records. ‘Whether it's real or not is up to the listener, but to me Metalhorse is this crumbling fairground where some rides are nice to get on and some rides aren't,’ she said of the album. ‘That's how life felt for a minute, and it still feels like that a bit now.’ 

Alongside the tour announcement, Maries released a new single, ‘Plans’. She said of the song: ‘As I get older, and I've just had this [MS] diagnosis, and the world's a fucking mess, the idea of being able to have fun or fall in love with someone is the ultimate rebellion, isn't it? It just feels totally radical these days. And it seems to happen less as life gets more complicated. Things are only going to get worse, there’s no point being blue sky about it, but there’s also fun to be found in this two-minute whizz around that we all have.’ 

As well as the tour announcement, Billy Nomates was added to the line-up for Fringe By The Sea, North Berwick, earlier this month, where she’ll perform alongside Hamish Hawk and Cloth. Tickets for that show, taking place on Friday 8 August, are on sale now.
