Self Esteem announces UK tour to support new album and she's coming to Manchester

After the rousing success of her second album, Prioritise Pleasure, Sheffield musician Self Esteem - aka Rebecca Lucy Taylor - is set to hit the road in support of her newest effort.

A Complicated Woman, due for release through Polydor Records on April 25 2025, is the eagerly anticipated follow up to the BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album, and has already received high praise from music critics including The Guardian.

To create a profound sense of connection, the album features a jubilant choir—dozens of voices, mostly female, representing a close-knit community. This chorus, including Nadine Shah, Moonchild Sanelly, Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings), Meatball, and Julie Hesmondhalgh, is designed to be felt as much as heard.

In celebration of the album’s release, Self Esteem is hitting the road once again towards the end of 2025 and it includes a date in Manchester.

So take a look below at where you can catch Self Esteem on the road later this year and how you can get tickets to the performances.
