Arlo Parks — Desire Tour

Arlo Parks comes to Barcelona as part of the Desire Tour to present her world of alternative pop and urban poetry.

Arlo Parks is the musical project of the British artist, active since 2018, who broke into the international spotlight with her debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams, released through Transgressive Records. Her repertoire blends indie pop textures, contemporary R&B and spoken word, with introspective lyrics that address mental health, youth and personal relationships.

On stage, the proposal comes to life with an organic instrumentation and a restrained staging in which the voice takes centre stage. The concerts tend to revisit the songs from that first record alongside tracks from her later discography, in a tour format that prioritises closeness with the audience.

The gig takes place at Sala Apolo, a venue regularly used for pop and independent music concerts in Barcelona. The audience tends to bring together listeners interested in new currents of contemporary singer-songwriter music and the alternative pop of recent years.
