Orlando Weeks Of The Maccabees Announces New Project And Accompanying Live Shows

Orlando Weeks has announced a new project.
The former frontman of the Maccabees will play a run of intimate shows around the UK to mark the start of this new venture.
The performances, which take place in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and London in September, will showcase new solo material that is set to be released as an album in 2020. Tickets go on sale at 9am on August 2.
In a statement, Weeks commented:
“The album I’ve been working on for the last eighteen months is very nearly done. For me, holding my nerve has been a large part of finishing a record, and there’s a certain confidence that comes from discovering a song can survive in a room full of strangers. The flip side of that is that you unearth problems you wish had stayed buried. There’s every chance it won’t work, but that’s the gamble.”
