The Pierces embark on a headline UK tour later this weekAdd an event for this week and will play the Park Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday 26th June.

Critical acclaim for ‘You & I’…
“An instant classic…the catchiness of Abba, the jangliness of The Byrds and that slightly melancholic West Coast summeriness of the Mamas and the Papas” ***** The Sunday Telegraph
“The Pierces handle delicacy as well as they do drivetime” **** The Guardian
“Inseparable sibling harmonies” **** Uncut
“Their strength lies in the duo’s effortless harmonies, which are full-bodied and lilting with emotion in every cadence” **** Time Out
“Love songs are rarely so crafted or so beautiful” 4.5/5 The Sun SFTW
“Divinely textured, irresistibly emotional laments” ***** Star
