Sad news today. We regretfully share that famed director, producer, & artist David Lynch has passed away.

He was best know for bringing to us Twin Peaks and directing the original Dune film.

Our deepest sympathy to his family, and countless fans across the world.

It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, “Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.”

It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.

Hello

Excited to bring our friend Bill Ryder-Jones along as well.

The support for this record has been amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing some of you along the way…

Sign up before Monday, January 20th @ 11:59pm ET to join the artist pre-sale. Select up to 3 shows and get notified the day before the pre-sale begins.

Tickets on general sale 10am local time, Friday 24th January.

Beth Gibbons wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To help achieve this, the tour will be using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange where, if needed, you can resell your ticket to other fans at the original price paid.

To help ensure that fans get tickets at the original price, Beth Gibbons has chosen to make tickets for this tour mobile only and restricted from transfer.

Please note, a valid bank account or debit card within the country of your event is required to sell on Ticketmaster.

*New York, Illinois, Colorado, Virginia, and Connecticut have passed state laws requiring unlimited ticket resale and limiting artists’ ability to determine how their tickets are resold. To adhere to local laws, tickets in these states will not be restricted from transfer but the artist encourages fans to only resell their tickets at the original price paid via Ticketmaster.
