Cambridge YouTube sensation Cavetown announces Manchester stop in 'Running with Scissors' UK tour

DIY indie pop singer-songwriter Robin Skinner, best known as Cavetown, has created a broad catalogue of music spanning from lo-fi ditties to indie rock charmers, which have amassed billions of streams, eared a 6x Platinum certification, and inspired high-profile features in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Billboard.

Cavetown has announced a new UK tour to celebrate the release of his newest album Running With Scissors.

The new album explores “What happens when you leave that room you grew up in and finally look yourself squarely in the eye? What are the gifts and curses you’ve inherited from the family who raised you? Which parts of them do you bring forward, and which do you cut away?

“With all these lessons and questions in tow, Running With Scissors captures life at the moment you’re forced out of the classroom into the open world, scissors in hand, trying not to fall.”

For the first time in Skinner’s career, invited collaborators into the core creative process. The album features collaborations with Chloe Moriondo, Ryan Raines, David Pramik, Couros and Underscores.

The UK tour will feature a gig in Manchester.

Cavetown will be performing at O2 Ritz Manchester on March 13, 2026. General sale goes live on Friday (October 10) from 10am. To book your tickets, click here.
