Brit award-winning songwriter and chart-topping artist Tom Odell is pleased to announce a headline Belfast show at the Ulster Hall on Tuesday 15th February 2022.

Odell has been working as a musician in the public eye since he was 21 when self-penned debut album ‘Long Way Down’ earned him a number 1 album, a top 10 single (the epic Another Love) and a Brit. Now, 30, it's clear to Odell that the whirlwind around his debut kickstarted a work ethic that eventually became an obsession.

The first single from the new album was ‘numb’, (premiered as Radio 1 ‘Hottest Record’ by Jack Saunders standing in for Annie Mac.), now Odell returns with his new song ‘monster v.1.’ (the first of two versions).

“In 2019, my anxiety got so bad that I had to stop making music for a while. there was a period when it felt like I couldn’t leave the house without having a panic attack. I wrote this song, monster, about trying to overcome my struggles with those mental health problems. It makes me super sad to listen at moments because it brings back some tough times, but I am super proud of it and hope it resonates with people who are dealing with similar struggles. This first version is the song in its purest form, which I wanted you all to hear first, as the lyrics mean so much to me.”

Slowly but surely, Odell alchemised that experience into a new album. In this strangest of times this new music represents the start of chapter two in Odell's ongoing musical journey.

Fans pre-ordering Tom’s new album (vinyl, cd, cassette and more) on his official website will guarantee first access to tickets.
