Circa Waves have announced a special run of UK live dates from which a portion of the profits will be donated to local foodbanks in each town they are touring through. They will be coming to Southampton’s Engine Rooms on October 12, and will be making a donation to Southampton City Mission.
The band recently released new album Never Going Under to high praise across press and radio and have a summer of headlining festival stages to look forward to. Recognising their position in being able to help charities close to their hearts however, they made the decision to bring Never Going Under to intimate venues in eight UK towns and cities for the benefit of a foodbank in each area, at a time when donations are needed more than ever.
The band, Kieran, Sam, Joe and Colin, had the following to say about the decision to show their support: “We’re so happy to be supporting food banks on our next tour. In this current climate where the cost of living crisis is hitting everyone we know that being able to feed your family is no longer a given. We will be playing a handful of small intimate shows with a percentage of profits going to local food banks in each area. Can’t wait to see you there.”
