Last year Nadine Shah released her latest album Filthy Underneath. The album received huge acclaim (including a cover feature with The Guardian) and debuted at #25 in the Official UK Albums Chart, her highest ever entry. This led to her biggest ever live show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. Today she follows up with the announcement of her first ever live album – Live In London – recorded at the show, mixed by Ben Hillier, and released on 16 May. Along with the announcement she has shared the live recording of ‘Greatest Dancer’.
Alongside the release of Filthy Underneath, Nadine had a fantastic 2024 with live shows supporting Young Fathers and then Depeche Mode on their Arena Tour through the UK and Europe followed by her own sold-out UK headline tour in April / May and various summer festivals (including Green Man, Krankenhaus and Edinburgh Festival). Nadine also made her debut TV appearance with full band on Jools Holland.
After several gigs as guest vocalist on The Pogues 40th Anniversary iteration of their Red Roses for Me album tour, Nadine headlined a short winter run of her own across Europe in late November 2024 culminating in the triumphant sold out O2 Forum Kentish Town show in November.
In May of this year, Nadine will join The Pogues for their Rum Sodomy & the Lash tour around the UK (and in the autumn extending to the US) prior to appearances at a range of festivals across the UK this summer and then opening up for Self Esteem (Nadine guested on the single ‘Lies’ on her current album A Complicated Woman) on her second UK tour this year in October.
