The reigning queen of excellent Scandi-pop, aka ‘Dancing On My Own’ she-genius Robyn, has announced details of an all-too-distant date at the Brixton Academy on 1 Nov. Tickets, since you ask, go on sale this Friday.

As that Brixton outing looms far off in the future, Robyn has also set aside space and time for a series of 90s-style ‘Body Talk’ club nights, which she’ll co-present with her producer/DJ pal Rokk. Since she’s appearing across Coldplay’s nationwide tour in June, it makes sense that the Manchester and London editions of said club nights will take place straight after Chris Martin et al’s headline gigs.

Described as “a lavish feast for the eyes” and featuring strippers, drag queens and untold fabulousness, the first of those parties, at the Dalston Superstore in East London, will double up as an alternative Diamond Jubilee spectacular, taking place on the first of the jubilee bank holidays. Northerners can join the party at Manchester’s Homoelectric on 9 Jun.

Full details on the ‘Body Talk’ nights here.
