The Lemonheads reveal Willy Mason as tour special guest.
The Lemonheads have exciting news for their fans – they are embarking on a UK tour later this year, and they are bringing along a special guest, singer-songwriter Willy Mason. This tour is highly anticipated as it marks the band’s return to the UK after several years and coincides with the release of their new album, ‘Love Chant.’
Evan Dando, the frontman of The Lemonheads, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour, stating, “I’m really looking forward to being back in the UK in the fall for this cool run of Lemonheads UK dates. And I’m so happy that the great Willy Mason will be on tour with us.” This reunion with UK fans is a significant moment for the band, especially with the release of their first studio album of original material in almost two decades.
The addition of Willy Mason to the tour brings a new dimension to the live performances. Willy, known for his folk and indie-rock sound and socially reflective songwriting, is expected to captivate audiences with his stripped-back style that has drawn comparisons to music legends like Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. He expressed his excitement for the tour, stating, “We’re tuning up our resonances to hit the road with the Lemonheads in our most fertile form. We’re on a mission to move molecules and make them boogie. Can’t wait it’s gonna be a hoot.”
The Lemonheads, formed in Boston in 1986, made a name for themselves in the early 1990s with critically acclaimed albums and hits like “Into Your Arms.” Their latest album, ‘Love Chant,’ released in 2025, has been well-received as a confident and melodic return from one of alternative rock’s most distinctive voices. The tour will feature performances of tracks from this new album, as well as fan favorites from their extensive discography.
The Birmingham show, scheduled for October 10 at the O2 Institute, promises to be a memorable night for fans of The Lemonheads and Willy Mason. Tickets for the show are already on sale through the band’s official website, ensuring that fans have the opportunity to secure their spots for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening of live music entertainment.
