Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced a limited run of intimate theatre shows, including performances in Manchester and London. Tickets for the gigs go on sale at 10am on Friday 21 March. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK shows. 

Karen O, Nick Zinner and Brian Chase have promised to perform ‘reimagined’ versions of their era-defining hits and deep cuts, accompanied by strings and pianos. The performances come as the band celebrate their 25th anniversary. 

The band wrote on Instagram, ‘Hi, we've missed you, they don’t miss you like we miss you. Out of a deep desire to reconnect with our band family and you our lovely fans, YYY’s are embarking on a series of very special shows this summer.

‘The dearly departed David Lynch would say: “all you need to do is turn on the light and the darkness goes.” To let our love light shine we will be digging deep into our back catalogue. We’ll be playing songs that are rarely (if ever) performed, alongside all-time favorites with new arrangements to delight... and yes there will be acoustic guitars and strings too. We’d love for you to join us for these intimate performances in beautiful iconic theaters to celebrate 25 years of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, not a bad seat in the house!’

The venerated New York act released their latest album, Cool It Down, in 2022, their first in almost a decade.
