Self-Esteem Expands UK and Ireland Tour
Self-Esteem has added more dates to her 2025 UK and Ireland tour, along with announced support acts.
Upcoming Tour Details
Singer-songwriter Rebecca Lucy Taylor, also known as Self-Esteem, announced in March that she would be touring this fall here through Polydor.
As previously mentioned, Taylor will kick off her tour in Birmingham on September 15, before heading to Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, Bristol, and Brighton.
Due to high demand for tickets, she has added a third night at the Manchester Academy on September 29, as well as dates at the Bristol Beacon on October 5 and the O2 Brixton Academy in London on October 11. The tour will conclude with a significant concert in her hometown at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on October 18.
In addition to the extra dates, she revealed her support acts for the tour, including Munchchild Sanelli, who previously collaborated with Taylor on “Big Man” and will perform on all dates. Nadine Shah will join from October 3 to 18 for the Brighton show.

The artist stated that her latest album was created with a stadium sound, drawing inspiration from Coldplay and Biffy Clyro. “I don’t know how the album will be received, but I also say, ‘I don’t care,’ because I did what I wanted to do,” she explained. “This will be a huge challenge, being a 38, 39-year-old woman releasing a pop record and making it where it should go.”
In other news, Taylor recently expressed that she “desperately needs diversification,” stating that her income from the music industry has left her with “depression and stress” since the release of “Prioritize Pleasure.”
In an interview with Time, she revealed that in the years since the release of this record, she has intentionally tried to expand her toolkit, including taking on the lead role of Sally Bowles in a cabaret production in the West End, opposite Jake Shears.
“The reason I fall into depression and stress in the music industry is security – and that means money,” she said. “All I want is to stop relying on anyone. I want to know that the rug cannot be pulled out from under me, as it has so many times.”
Most recently, her live performances caught the attention of Madonna, who attended one of the five special theatrical showcases of “A Complicated Woman” in the West End earlier this month and labeled her “an incredible artist.”
