Fenne Lily: Win Win Release Shows, UK Dates & Tickets

Last updated: August 2026. Few songwriters make heartbreak sound as clear-eyed as Fenne Lily.

Now, with her fourth album Win Win (2026) arriving this October, she is marking the moment with an intimate run of release shows on either side of the Atlantic, including four UK dates in Bristol and London.

From Dorset to Brooklyn: Fenne Lily's Journey So Far

Fenne Lily started writing songs as a teenager growing up in rural Dorset, releasing her self-written single “Top To Toe” at just 15 and quickly picking up support slots for the likes of KT Tunstall and Marika Hackman. A move to Bristol to study art brought her into the city's thriving independent music scene, and by 2018 she had self-released her debut album, On Hold, a hushed, melancholic introduction to her songwriting. Nearly a decade on, it remains her most-streamed release: “Top To Toe” alone has racked up more than 55 million plays on Spotify.

A Momentum Music Fund grant and a run of UK festival dates followed, alongside a formative US tour supporting Lucy Dacus that introduced her to audiences well beyond home. 2020's BREACH, produced with Brian Deck and the late Steve Albini, expanded that early sound without losing its intimacy, while 2023's Big Picture became her most collaborative record yet, made with producer Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Waxahatchee) and mixed by Melina Duterte of Jay Som.

In the years since, Fenne has relocated from England to New York, now calling Brooklyn home. That distance, and the upheaval that followed it, forms the backbone of Win Win: an album written and recorded over 18 months with both her long-standing English bandmates and a new circle of Brooklyn collaborators.

About the Win Win Release Shows

To celebrate Win Win, Fenne Lily has announced a run of intimate release shows across Los Angeles, New York, Bristol and London, taking place either side of the album's arrival in October. Rather than kicking off a conventional tour, these dates are designed as a first, close-up celebration of the record before a fuller run of touring begins.

As Fenne explained about the shows: “These shows are birthday parties for the record before we hit the road proper. This album was made by people playing live in a room and should be celebrated in the same way.”

For UK fans, that means four dates: a night at Strange Brew in Bristol, where Fenne spent her formative years as an artist, followed by a three-night run at The Lower Third in London.

New Album: Win Win

Win Win is released on Friday 23rd October 2026, marking Fenne Lily's fourth studio album and her first since Big Picture in 2023. Written in the aftermath of a breakup that arrived over the phone while she was on the other side of the country, the record was built as an act of self-preservation: turning an unmoored, panicked period into songs about resilience, rediscovery and emotional honesty.

Writing much of the album in the third person gave Fenne some distance from the material. As she put it: “Writing in the third person was the key here — it felt like I was summing up the life of someone close to me but separate.” The results were recorded largely live and in part to tape, blending her English touring band with a new set of Brooklyn collaborators, and picking up unexpected new textures along the way, including hints of country she credits to her adopted home: “Like I'd absorbed some of the America I live in now.”

The result is a record that holds old pain and new love in the same hand, without asking one to cancel out the other. Across ten tracks, it reads like a diary of coming back to life.

New Singles: “Uh Huh” and “Sleeping”

Lead single “Uh Huh” introduced Win Win to the world, capturing the strange overlap of lingering heartbreak and a new relationship taking root. Fenne has described it as “a shrug and a wink of a song”, reflecting the record's growing sense of acceptance and its willingness to embrace life as it arrives.

Second single “Sleeping” takes a sharper turn, channelling what Fenne has called a “thoughtful rage” in the wake of the same phone breakup that shaped the album. Together, the two songs offer a clear preview of a record that swings between acceptance and anger, often within the same breath.

New to Fenne Lily? These tracks are the best place to start.

• “Uh Huh” — the lead single from Win Win (2026), and the clearest sign yet of her new, more accepting chapter.
• “Sleeping” — the record's sharper, angrier companion piece, and just as essential.
• “Alapathy” — a standout from BREACH (2020), and one of her most quietly devastating songs to date.
• “Solipsism” — another BREACH (2020) highlight, gradually building its emotional weight beneath her restrained delivery.
• “Lights Light Up” — a crackling, energetic favourite from Big Picture (2023) that shows her lighter, more expansive side.
• “Top To Toe” — written and self-released when she was just 15, and still her most-streamed song by some distance, with more than 55 million plays on Spotify.
