If you’ve followed Arlo’s journey, you know she’s never been one to stand still creatively. Recently, she shared insights on Instagram, hinting at a whole new sonic world crafted in the studio:

“I’ve spent the past few years in the studio exploring new sonic palettes, world building and experimenting. I’ve always wanted to show people the workings out of my music, so [longtime collaborator] Baird and I will be bringing our studio setup to the stage for a journey through old and new material. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been dreaming up, face to face, in three cities that mean a lot to me. Don’t miss out. It’s gonna be magic.”

That’s the kind of heartfelt invitation that gets fans buzzing. It’s clear these shows won’t just be typical gigs—they’ll be intimate journeys through the evolution of her sound and artistry.

Where and When: Catch Arlo's Exclusive Fall Shows

Mark your calendars! Arlo Parks will light up stages in three cities that hold special meaning for her:

• November 27 at Bath House in London
• December 2 at Silo in New York
• December 5 at Melt in Los Angeles

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, November 12, but there’s a catch—you’ll need to sign up through a special link to gain access. This approach keeps the experience personal and exclusive, just like Arlo herself prefers.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to her dreamlike blend of indie pop and poetic lyricism, these shows promise surprises and fresh sonic explorations not to be missed.

Evolving Soundscapes: From My Soft Machine to New Desire

After touring extensively for her 2023 album My Soft Machine, which earned a well-deserved spot in the UK Top 10, Arlo took a step back from the road to dive deep into crafting new music. And from what she’s shared, this next chapter will be a departure from her earlier mellow indie vibes toward a more electronic and dance-inflected sound.

One taste of this evolution is the recently released track “New Desire,” which has fans already hooked on its tender yet vibrant feel. Arlo revealed the genesis of the song on social media:

“This little idea was born out of a late late night session with Baird. It was inspired by a voice note that made me feel like a teenager again—tender with new magic. I wanted to put my heart on the line and write it how it felt.”

You can listen to "New Desire" on YouTube to catch that fresh wave of emotion and sonic experimentation firsthand:

This track feels like a direct line to her soul, capturing the restless yearning and new-found confidence of someone embracing change without losing their delicate essence.

Why These Shows Matter More Than Ever

In today’s music scene, where staged productions and virtual concerts can sometimes feel distant and impersonal, Arlo’s decision to bring a studio-like setup on stage is a breath of fresh air. It’s almost like being invited behind the curtain to witness the creative process unfold live. For fans who’ve connected deeply with her candid lyricism and soothing voice, this approach feels especially intimate and rewarding.

Also, these shows serve as a living bridge between the past and the future of her music—melding familiar favorites with debut performances of songs that will shape her next album. It’s a rare chance to witness an artist in transition, with all the vulnerability and excitement that entails.
