JESSE MALIN * Almost Grown UK Tour

About this event

---

Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a gritty troubadour of the streets," Jesse Malin released his solo debut, The Fine Art Of Self Destruction, to universal acclaim in 2003, with Uncut dubbing the album "an instant classic" and The Times declaring that "there is simply nothing more you can demand from a great rock record." Over the next two decades, Malin would go on to release eight more similarly lauded solo albums while building a loyal community of diehard fans across the UK and Europe, spreading the gospel of New York rock and roll and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) through sold-out headline tours and festival performances everywhere from Glastonbury to Hyde Park. A true songwriter's songwriter, Malin has recorded with and covered by Bruce Springsteen and Lucinda Williams, shared stages with The Replacements, The Gaslight Anthem, Green Day, and Bob Weir, and seen his songs covered by the likes of Elvis Costello, Bleachers, Counting Crows, Green Day, The Wallflowers, Ian Hunter, Frank Turner, Dinosaur Jr., and more.  In 2023, Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Rather than retreat from the spotlight, he defied the odds and learned to stand again, returning to the stage the following year in America with two triumphant sold-out nights at NYC's legendary Beacon Theatre before crossing the pond for a pair of sold-out shows at London's Islington Assembly Hall. In 2026, Jesse is making his off-Broadway debut in the acclaimed stage show Silver Manhattan, written by Malin and Lauren Ludwig, and produced by ArKtype and David Bason. His first book Almost Grown: A New York Memoir will be released April 7 (Akashic)  Malin will return to the UK in June for a limited three-night engagement in Glasgow, Manchester, and London starting June 11 to June 13 in London at the Union Chapel.
