NIGHT FLIGHT ARE SOARING HIGH – OMEARA SHOW ANNOUNCED

London based Night Flight are making waves. With their upcoming EP featuring the new single ‘Monster’ and the sold out EP launch show at Next Door Records next month, Sam Holmes and Harry Phillips have announced their biggest headline show to date at Omeara.

Night Flight have been captivating audiences with their ethereal melodies and magnetic stage presence since their inception. Their eagerly anticipated show on Monday 11 November will see the return of Night Flight as a full band.

The EP "English Rose," scheduled for release on 10 May, is seen as a significant milestone for Night Flight. Recorded during a transformative period, it represents a departure from their previous sound, with Holmes and Phillips taking the lead following the departure of former drummer Dan Webb. The songs on the EP were initially intended to be acoustic but evolved into a showcase of experimentation with textures, both lyrically and musically. Mixed by longtime collaborator James Mottorshead and mastered by Nick Watson, these tracks signal Night Flight's rediscovery of their drive and set the stage for an exciting year ahead.

With their third album in the works and a string of releases planned for the year, Night Flight is poised to make 2024 their most memorable year yet.

“There’s nothing like performing in front of your home crowd, especially when it’s been a while.  I can’t wait to finish the year on such a high by partying in Liverpool, Glasgow and London.  We’ve freshened up the show since our last time round and we are excited to get to play some of our new songs along side some of the favourites.” Paul McCartney

The new tour dates confirmed this week mark Paul’s first series of live dates since the One On One Tour that played to some two million fans over the course of 2016 and 2017.

The Freshen Up tour will also be Paul’s first outing following the release of his brand new studio album, Egypt Station, out September 7th on Capitol Records.

Featuring Paul’s band of the last 15+ years – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) –and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing.
