We caught up with Lights a little while back to see what she has in store for the UK.
This is the first time you’ve played Slam Dunk!
“I’m stoked! I’ve heard it’s Warped Tour in a weekend, UK style. Everyone I know who’s gone has had fun, so I’m ready to relive my Warped experiences across the pond. Some of the bands I grew up on, like NOFX and Glassjaw, are playing so I’m excited. I definitely won’t be telling Daryl Palumbo I made a sculpture of him in high school.”
This will also be the first time you’ve been to the UK since 2016 – what’s changed for you since then?
“God, that feels like a century ago. I feel like things have changed a ton. I haven’t even been on UK soil with my red lid – a travesty! My confidence in myself has skyrocketed since ‘Skin & Earth’ I think, with pulling off an entire album-tied graphic novel on my own and managing to follow through on things I never thought I could. I love playing shows more than ever. I have a whole other album of songs I love playing that I didn’t have before.”
