We’re delighted to be working with Throwing Muses for the first time!

Kristin Hersh brings the Throwing Muses live show to Europe in Spring 2025.

Their first tour since 2011, the ‘Muses will embark on a 2025 European tour as a three-piece, fronted by Hersh.

Hersh remains one of the most unique and singular talents of her generation, a celebrated and gifted writer as well as a relentlessly touring musician.

Throwing Muses in 2025 finds Hersh going back to where it all began, with nearly 40 years of ‘Muses history behind them. This year marks a new chapter in the project.

A very rare opportunity to witness one of the great cult American rock bands, we look forward to presenting the ‘Muses on their intimate European adventure.

This show is a co-promotion with Please Please You and the Brudenell.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
