Billy Lockett to play 20 show tour of fans' homes & gardens in July & August

15 July 2021 - Press release

Billy Lockett announces a 20 show ‘Living Rooms And Gardens Tour’ taking to the road in a camper van with his girlfriend and bulldog Trevor to play in the homes of competition winners across the UK in July and August. 

"After such a hard two years it just felt right to do something more special and unusual this time! I’ve always had pretty close relationship with my fan base, it’s always felt more like a family so doing a living rooms and gardens tour felt like the perfect way to give back as a thank you for everything they’ve done for me over the years. Aside from the fact that it’s gonna be ridiculously fun!!” Billy Lockett

With restrictions at venues still being unclear, Billy took it upon himself to organise a raffle on his social media whereby hundreds of fans entered for a chance for him to perform live in their homes. With the winners now announced, Billy will be taking to the road in a camper van with his girlfriend and bulldog Trevor to play for these winners across the UK in July and August. Entitled ‘Living Rooms And Gardens Tour’ - Billy will play 20 shows across the UK, starting in London on July 17^th and ending in his hometown of Northampton on Aug 5^th. 

This tour follows a sold out 12 date socially distanced tour of England in May. In accordance with guidelines set by the government, the ‘Reflections Tour’ saw Billy and his piano take in intimate shows across England, at venues such as London’s Clapham Grand and Birmingham’s Glee Club. As an advocate for environmental protection, Billy off-set 200% of carbon emissions from his and the crew's travel, making the tour climate positive. During this time, he has also been outspoken about the restrictive impact of Brexit on UK artists touring Europe, speaking to Times Radio about the financial implications that future gigs in Europe will bring. 

Following the success of his EP 'Reflections' which reached No.5 in the iTunes Album charts and No.1 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts in April this year, Billy is set to share a collection of beautifully recorded acoustic versions of the songs from the EP. Out 27th August and entitled ‘Reflections (Acoustic)’, the stunning collection of heartbreakers sees Billy re-present the tracks in the most candid and honest way. The latest single from the project ‘Talk Ft. Violet Skies (Acoustic)’ drops Friday 16th July.
