Both singles follow the release of Mahashmashana, Father John Misty’s acclaimed sixth long player in twelve years, released in November 2024.
Father John Misty has rescheduled his appearance at the cancelled Lido Festival with a new headlining performance at London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday, June 12th. Fan presales begin Wednesday, May 13th at 10 am BST, with on-sale to the general public on Friday, May 15th at 10 am BST.
Variety says of his July 2025 headlining performance at The Greek Theatre, “He’s one of contemporary music’s greatest lyricists and one of our loveliest melodists (a good combo, when you can find it, by the way),so there’s usually some kind of euphoric effect even in distemper ordystopia. His wish is our command when it comes to actually enjoying stuff that sounds more challenging on paper, or even on vinyl, than it does in the flesh.”
