The number of dates Wexford singer Wallis Bird will play across Europe on her just-announced New Moon Tour

The tour will include a show on home turf at the National Opera House in Wexford

on November 22.

Bird says she’s calling it the New Moon Tour ‘because of its symbolism; transition, femininity, the passing of time and new beginnings; the dark side of light. All of this amounts to how I feel at this point in my life. This is my new moon’.

The tour will be in support of her sixth studio album to be released later in the year. She says fans can expect something a bit different this time out. ‘It’s built on a quite different tonal and chordal structure than usual and I’ve tried to flood it with love, questions and understanding. I’m trying to make sense of the sociopolitical new world that we’re living in, and finding a way to

heal myself’.
