Everything Everything Bringing Get To Heaven's 10th Anniversary Tour to LA
Everything Everything have built a reputation as one of the most electrifying live bands working today, and Los Angeles fans are about to get a rare chance to see exactly why! On September 26, the British art-rock outfit brings its Get To Heaven 10th Anniversary Tour to The Bellwether, performing the acclaimed 2015 album front to back in a night that promises the same kind of manic, high-wire energy that's defined the band's live shows for over a decade. Get tickets HERE!
Get To Heaven arrived on June 22, 2015 via RCA Records, marking a pivotal turn for the band both sonically and thematically. Produced by Stuart Price, who stepped in for longtime collaborator David Kosten, the record paired the band's signature angular, hook-heavy instrumentation with lyrics wrestling directly with the darkest headlines of the moment. Frontman Jonathan Higgs has spoken about how upset he was by the state of the world while writing it, channeling the rise of ISIS, the tone of the UK's general election coverage, and the trauma of mass shootings into songs that stayed danceable even as the subject matter got heavier. That deliberate contrast, drawing from touchstones like Radiohead, Suicide, and Kendrick Lamar, is exactly what made the album feel so distinct on arrival, and a decade later, the band has openly noted just how little that tension has faded.
The record's legacy backs up the hype. Q magazine handed it a rare five-star review, calling it spectacular, while it landed a strong 80 on Metacritic and was favored by bookmakers to make the Mercury Prize shortlist. Singles like "Distant Past," "Regret," "Spring / Sun / Winter / Dread," and "No Reptiles" became fan favorites and live staples in the years since, each one carrying that same push-pull between euphoric energy and unsettled lyrical territory. Hearing the album performed in full and in sequence is a genuinely different experience than catching those songs scattered across a normal setlist, letting the record's full arc and emotional swing land the way it was originally built to.
Everything Everything have made clear this anniversary run means something real to them, not just a nostalgia lap. The band has talked about the deep bond they still feel with this material and how the record seems to keep finding new relevance as the years go on, which only raises the stakes for a tour built around playing it exactly as fans first fell in love with it. Paired with a live show known for its restless energy and Higgs' magnetic, unpredictable stage presence, this is shaping up to be one of the most compelling nights on the LA concert calendar this fall.
If you've ever wanted to see one of the most inventive bands of the last decade perform a genuine modern classic in full, this is the night to do it. Everything Everything hits The Bellwether on September 26, and it's not one you'll want to miss.
