LA ROUX
Announce Winter Tour Dates

Hot off the heels of a sold-out stateside tour, South London synth-pop sensation La Roux have just announced winter tour dates where they’ll perform tracks from their just released, self-titled debut referred to by the New York Times as “…dizzying fun.”


The tour kicks off in Boston on January 31 at the Paradise Rock Club
and wraps in New York City on February 11 at Webster Hall.
Momentum is building quickly here in the United States for La Roux.

21-year-old Elly Jackson and co-producer co-songwriter co-hort Ben Langmaid, who are La Roux , have made an impressive impact on UK’s music scene since joining forces two years ago.

What began in London’s burgeoning underground warehouse scene has since landed the pair nominations for the highly coveted Mercury Prize, an MTV Europe Award as well as an
MTVu Woodie stateside along with Grizzly Bear, Friendly Fires, and Passion pit for the Breaking Woodie. The duo can also boast hot singles on daytime radio and the upper echelons of the British charts.

On our shores, first single “Bulletproof” #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts going into Labor Day weekend. La Roux the album continues to make waves in the UK. Dazzling
current single "Bulletproof" entered the UK Singles Chart at #1 and “In For The Kill,” the album’s first single in the UK, sold more copies than any other single this year!
