DJESSE UK & EUROPE TOUR

Five-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Jacob Collier announces his biggest European tour to date. Next fall, following the release of his highly anticipated (already Grammy-nominated) album "Djesse Vol. 4" (February 29, Hajanga / Decca / Interscope), Collier and his illustrious band will crisscross the continent on a 22-date tour - produced by Live Nation. The tour kicks off on November 2nd in Portugal at the Sala Tejo in Lisbon, followed by shows in Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and France, and concludes in the UK with a special show at the O2 in London.

The announcement follows the release of Collier's new single 'Witness Me', featuring Shawn Mendes, Stormzy and 19-time Grammy-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin for a heart-warming anthem to the power of empathy. Hailed as 'The World's Hottest Record' by BBC Radio 1 this week, you can watch the visualization video here, which includes exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the official music video, out Tuesday, November 28.

"Witness Me" is the fourth glimpse into Collier' s next installment of his genre-spanning four-part album project DJESSE, which, along with previously released singles like "Little Blue (feat. Brandi Carlile)," "Wherever I Go (feat. Lawrence & Michael McDonald)," "WELLLL" and the Grammy-nominated "Never Gonna Be Alone (feat. Lizzy McAlpine & John Mayer)," provides a fascinating glimpse into the extraordinary depth and breadth of the upcoming album.

In the midst of working on "Djesse," Collier began transforming his concertgoers into sprawling, improvised choirs. As he has conducted audiences worldwide from rock clubs to Lincoln Center and even festival meadows like Bonnaroo and Glastonbury, crowds of fans have all been united in enthusiastic harmony, underscoring his deep belief that everyone in this world has a voice and is a musician. With the recording of each of his 90+ audience choruses, over 150,000 voices from around the world play a crucial role in the story and creation of 'Djesse Vol. 4'.

In the last twelve months alone, Collier' s audience choir videos have garnered hundreds of millions of views. He was the first male "Vogue Darling", appeared on the cover of the July issue of Rolling Stone UK, wrote and performed on seven tracks of Stormzy's "This Is What I Mean". He has also worked extensively with Coldplay, appearing with them on Saturday Night Live in February, guest starring at their Wembley Stadium shows last summer and on their album Music of the Spheres. He's also contributed to big hits like SZA's "Good Days," songs by Lizzy McAlpine and Kehlani, launched a sold-out signature line of music crocs, and recently played his biggest 17,000-seat concert to date at the Hollywood Bowl.
