Two UK<br>warm up shows have been announced with Stapleton and her band set to headline London\u2019s<br>The Grace on February 24th and Brighton Electric on February 25th. This is a triumphant<br>welcome back to the stage for the Brighton-based Sydney-born artist who independently<br>released her debut album \u2018We Are The Plague\u2019 in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Though unable to tour the album, \u2018We Are The Plague\u2019 received universal praise, landing on<br>multiple Albums of The Year lists including Louder Than War\u2019s Top 20 Albums of 2020. LTW<br>lauded it as &#8220;A dazzling debut album of guitar rock, fused with the primal spirit of blues and<br>gospel. Blending the spirit of Patti Smith and PJ Harvey with the soul of Nick Cave and<br>Mark Lanegan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Suzie Stapleton feat.

It was around this<br>time that the self-managed artist noticed a certain Dave Gahan from New York had joined her<br>mailing list. This Dave also purchased a vinyl copy of \u2018We Are The Plague\u2019 from her website, but<br>Stapleton just assumed that it was not the same Dave Gahan that fronted one of the most<br>influential synth-pop bands of the 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Stapleton was also keeping occupied working on The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project, a<br>labour of love which pays tribute to the late frontman of The Gun Club. Stapleton had met the<br>project\u2019s producer Cypress Grove during a DIY UK tour in 2013 and he\u2019d invited her to first<br>record some backing vocals for the project. These ended up on 2014\u2019s \u2018Axels &amp; Sockets\u2019 &#8211; a call<br>and response section shared with Mark Lanegan &amp; Bertrand Cantat on the track \u2018Constant<br>Limbo\/Constant Rain\u2019. The pair hit it off with Grove inviting Stapleton to contribute further to<br>the fourth album in the project series that was in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">SUZIE STAPLETON &#8211; HEADLINE WARM-UP SHOWS<br>Supports TBA<br>24th of February &#8211; The Grace, LONDON, UK<br>25th of February &#8211; Brighton Electric, BRIGHTON, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>Tickets On Sale 10am Monday 22nd of January from<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suziestapleton.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.suziestapleton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.suziestapleton.com\/tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><br>DEPECHE MODE + SUZIE STAPLETON<br>MEMENTO MORI WORLD TOUR MARCH 2024<br>3rd Accor Arena PARIS, FRANCE<br>5th Accor Arena PARIS, FRANCE<br>7th Olympiahalle MUNICH, GERMANY<br>12th WiZink Center MADRID, SPAIN<br>14th WiZink Center MADRID, SPAIN<br>16th Palau Sant Jordi BARCELONA, SPAIN<br>19th Altice Arena LISBON, PORTUGAL<br>21st Bizkaia Arena BILBAO, SPAIN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HEADLINE UK WARM-UP SHOWS ANNOUNCED24th of February &#8211; The Grace, LONDON25th of February &#8211; Brighton Electric, BRIGHTON www.suziestapleton.com\/tour Suzie Stapleton has been invited to open for Depeche Mode this March for a run of arena datesin Spain, France, Germany, and Portugal as part of their Memento Mori World Tour.
