Sampha 2024 Lahai Tour dates, venues, and more revealed
Sampha released his latest studio album, Lahai, on October 20, 2023. The album has been moderately successful since its release, peaking at number 21 on the UK album chart. In an exclusive interview with HypeBeast on October 23, 2023, the singer expanded upon the album's conception, stating:
"The record came about from intuition and then sort of recognizing what I’m preoccupied with right now. I’m not by any means trying to sanitize or devalue things by being scientific, but it’s in our nature to care for our young. It’s part of our DNA to care and nurture."
The singer continued:
"We’re all born undeveloped – it could take a lifetime to grow up!...Even though you’re thinking about yourself and the existential struggles you go through, sometimes looking past your body and mind and connecting with others and nature can put a perspective on your own woes. The hardest challenges always come from the inside."
Following the release of the album, Sampha will now embark on the first leg of his album tour in North America. He will wrap up the trek with a show at The Easterns in Atlanta, Georgia on November 15, 2023.
Subsequently, the singer will embark on a brief Europe tour, which will wrap up 2023 for him. This will be followed by the newly announced Australia and New Zealand tour in 2024.
