BLACKBEAR ANNOUNCES ‘DEAD 2 THE WORLD’ U.K. TOUR
Platinum selling, singer-songwriter and producer blackbear today announces that he will bring his ‘Dead 2 The World’ tour to the U.K this October. Following the release of his fifth studio album ANONYMOUS on April 26th, blackbear will kick off his U.K tour in Birmingham on 25 October, with shows in Glasgow and London before wrapping in Manchester on 30 October. Tickets go on sale to the general public on 26 April at 10am at https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/blackbear-tickets. Pre-order ANONYMOUS here.
Since emerging in 2012, singer, songwriter, and producer blackbear has released alt-R&B albums Deadroses, Digital Druglord , and Cybersex — each extolling the pleasures of sex, drugs, and luxury consumerism. His streaming hits, the platinum-selling “Idfc” and the double-platinum “Do Re Mi” (“Do Re Mi, I’m so fucking done with you girl”), further established the 28-year-old.
On his new album ANONYMOUS, blackbear has discovered that the antidote to the pity party is vulnerability. “There were hints in my earlier albums of who I really was, but I had a wall up,” he says. “The wall’s been torn down for ANONYMOUS. I’m calling it that because I want to take the ego out of the process. I wanted to make a human album, by a real person, not hide behind the character of this sad ‘blackbear’ guy.”

About blackbear
blackbear is no musical lightweight. He’s an effortless songwriter with a keen ear for melody, a knack for distilling complicated ideas into tight, precise lyrical spaces, and a relentless perfectionist who prizes technical excellence as a producer and mixer. Asidefrom his own prolific output of singles and EPs, blackbear earned his bones working with the likes of Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Childish Gambino, Linkin Park, and — most notably — Justin Bieber, for whom he co-wrote the 6x-platinum single “Boyfriend” with his friend and Mansionz collaborator Mike Posner. A savvy entrepreneur, who also runs his own label, Beartrap Sound, blackbear became the first recording artist ever to monetize his own Soundcloud.
