Mitski Tickets

Mitski returns with “Working for the Knife,” a new single/video and the announcement of a UK and European tour for Spring 2022.

“Working for the Knife” surges with synth and a syncopated beat, driven by Mitski’s tenor and production by longtime collaborator Patrick Hyland. “It’s about going from being a kid with a dream, to a grown up with a job, and feeling that somewhere along the way you got left behind. It’s being confronted with a world that doesn’t seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it,” explains Mitski. The video, filmed at The Egg in Albany, NY and directed by Zia Anger with Ashley Connor directing photography, presents a performer returning to the same cruel world that gave birth to her. Mitski’s dedication to both sonic and physical presentation is on full display -- every muscle is activated and purposeful, giving itself over to the story of the choreography. It’s dynamic and gritty with a new intensity we haven’t yet seen from Mitski.


Mitski will follow a new US tour in February/March with a full tour of the UK and Europe in the Spring. The UK dates will stop at Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin, and Manchester before concluding at The Roundhouse in London on 28th April. The tour then continues in Europe, right through to Munich on the 19th May. These will be Mitski’s first shows over here since September 2018 in support of the superlative and widely acclaimed record, Be The Cowboy.
