Lucia & The Best Boys has confirmed details of her biggest UK headline tour to date. Hitting the road in March 2025, the five date tour will visit Birmingham, London, Bristol and Manchester before returning to the band’s Glasgow hometown.
The announcement follows the band’s extensive, electrifying European tour in support of Garbage earlier this summer, and precedes further UK & IRE support dates with The Last Dinner Party later this month.
Lucia Fairfull is redefining alternative music with her dynamic sound and powerful vocals. Her genre-blending style, praised by the likes of NME, DIY, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6, showcases her versatility and artistic growth.
The release of debut album Burning Castles has seen the Glasgow powerhouse climb to new heights – her deeply personal songwriting journeys through toxic relationships, empowerment, and growth, all wrapped in infectious synth-pop melodies that pay homage to Lucia’s Scottish roots. The record marked a pivotal moment in Lucia’s artistic evolution, revealing her strength through vulnerability.
Her Scottish roots remain a key part of Lucia’s identity throughout her work. Named after a huge tumbledown castle behind her childhood home, the artwork for Burning Castles was shot on the banks of Loch Lomond??, with Lucia wearing a leather kilt from Edinburgh-based designer Joey D.
Lucia also has an impressive fashion and modelling background, having worked with everyone from Alexander McQueen and Valentino to Charles Jeffery. For Lucia, this has only fuelled the band’s creative, experimental and hands-on spirit, with the two worlds frequently colliding. “I’ve realised that taking everything I love and genuinely care about and combining it into the world of the album is what’s going to make it the most unique and honest,” she says.
With new music on the way in 2025, the band’s upcoming headline tour is the start of an exhilarating new chapter for Lucia & the Best Boys.
