Father John Misty has announced a run of dates in the U.K. for April 2025.

The dates come following the news of his upcoming sixth studio album Mahashmashana, set for release on November 22 via Sub Pop and Bella Union (UK & Europe).


Father John Misty – real name Josh Tillman – will perform in Edinburgh, Manchester, Brighton and London, with the final show to be held at the capital’s historic Royal Albert Hall on April 14. See the full tour dates below; tickets go on sale on September 27.

The news follows the release of Misty’s Greatish Hits: I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl earlier this summer, a collection of back catalogue songs including “Real Love Baby”, his biggest hit on streaming.

The collection also included “I Guess Time Makes Fools of Us All”, an eight-minute jazz-influenced song that will also appear on Mahashmashana.

Misty last released a studio album in 2022 with Chloë and The Next 20th Century which landed at No.2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and at No.28 on the Billboard 200.

The Los Angeles-based musician is currently on tour supporting country star Kacey Musgraves in the US. Earlier this year, he was a special guest of Lana Del Rey at her headline appearance at London’s Hyde Park.

11 Best Moments From 2026 Billboard Women in Music

From our Women of the Year — HUNTR/X's EJAE, AUDREY NUNA & REI AMI — and beyond, these were our favorite moments.

In a night all about women supporting women, Zara Larsson took the Billboard Women in Music mission statement literally on Wednesday night (April 29) at the Hollywood Palladium, with the Swedish pop star being held aloft by her four backup dancers as she flawlessly performed her Grammy-nominated song “Midnight Sun.”

And that was just one of many iconic moments in a night full of them. Larsson was honored with the Breakthrough award, for taking over the charts in a major way after 10 years in the business, while the singing voices of HUNTR/X — EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI — were celebrated for their “Golden”-powered KPop Demon Hunters success as our Women of the Year.
