BELLE & SEBASTIAN

Belle and Sebastian are celebrating 30 years of _Tigermilk_ and _If You’re Feeling Sinister_ by performing the iconic albums in full during a series of two-night stands at classic venues across the UK, Europe, US, Canada, and Mexico. As part of the celebrations, they head to Bexhill this December to play _‘If You’re Feeling Sinister’_ in full, followed by a second set of everyone’s favourite B&S tunes.

First released in 1996, both records have long-since attained mythic status – “greatest of all time” list fixtures with songs that have spent decades populating mixtapes and playlists. Pitchfork called _Tigermilk_ “ _immaculate_” and The Guardian praised _If You’re Feeling Sinister_ as _“subtly poetic, wickedly funny, and gorgeously melodic.”_

Each evening will focus on one record, followed by a second set of classic B&S tunes.

Last year, Stuart Murdoch released his debut novel, _Nobody’s Empire_, which the Guardian praised as, “Radiantly written.” In 2023, Belle and Sebastian released _Late Developers_, the second of two back-to-back albums following 2022’s _A Bit of Previous_. It is a full-hearted embrace of the band’s brightest tendencies that is not only fresh and immediate, but possessing that B&S je ne sais quoi. _“Like If You’re Feeling Sinister, this is a near-simultaneous follow-up that’s somehow even better than its acclaimed predecessor,”_ wrote Pitchfork.
