Marc Valentine Announces US Tour Dates

Marc Valentine, the charismatic singer-songwriter who Vive Le Rock magazine crowned “the new king of British power-pop,” is set to bring his energetic live show to the United States for the very first time later this month. The uniquely styled frontman and his band will unpack a suitcase full of his finest anthems, in New York City and beyond, in celebration of his brand new album, Basement Sparks, that delivers an 11 track collection that blends Springsteen and Weezer with Buzzcocks and T-Rex, to create an exhilarating fairground ride of a record.

As a founding member of Last Great Dreamers, a colorful power-pop band with a cult following and roots in London’s ’90s glam scene, Marc co-wrote and performed on four well-received albums, before going it alone on 2022’s Future Obscure. As Marc prepares to ignite Basement Sparks in front of a US audience, he’s still pinching himself. “In England we dream about playing America,” he says. “I’ve been waiting since I was a kid, so to finally get there is going to be an incredible buzz.”
