Snarky Puppy are on their way to Wembley!

Grammy-winning groove maestros Snarky Puppy head back to where it all began in Texas for seven nights, two shows per night from 4 to 10 March to record their new album. This will take place at an intimate venue in the state’s "live music capital", Deep Ellum, and will see the group go back to their favoured ‘live in the studio’ approach with an audience in the room, which characterised their breakthrough albums such as 2012’s Ground Up and 2014’s We Like It Here.

The band’s London-based pianist Bill Laurance, one of the founding members of the band, told Jazzwise recently that there are at least a dozen new songs, the best takes of which will be included on the as yet unnamed album. This will be the band's first new recording since their triumphant, Grammy Award winning, Live At The Royal Albert Hall which was recorded in front of a sold-out 5,000 capacity crowd at the iconic London venue in November 2019.

They will try to top that feat this autumn with four newly announced October UK tour dates, which will conclude at one the capital’s most storied live spaces, the OVO Arena Wembley (as it’s now known!); a seismic achievement for a primarily instrumental band formed in 2003 by bassist and main composer Michael League.

Tour dates are as follows - tickets go on-sale from 25 February: O2 Academy, Glasgow (4 October); O2 Academy, Bristol (5 October); O2 Apollo, Manchester (6 October) and OVO Arena Wembley, London (7 October).
