New Album Flying With Angels and UK Tour

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega returns with Flying With Angels, her first album of all-new songs in over a decade, set for release on Friday 2nd May 2025, via Cooking Vinyl. Produced by longtime collaborator Gerry Leonard, the record explores themes of struggle, survival, and self-expression, with lead single “Speakers’ Corner” out now.

Renowned for her poetic storytelling and unmistakable voice, Vega first emerged in the 1980s folk revival and has since become one of the most influential songwriters of her generation. From timeless hits like “Luka” and “Tom’s Diner” to her genre-defying catalogue, she continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

To celebrate the new album, Suzanne Vega will embark on an extensive UK tour in October and November 2025, including a major London show at the Royal Albert Hall. She’ll be joined by guitarist Gerry Leonard, cellist Stephanie Winters, and special guest Katherine Priddy.
