A bunch of new Mew shows for next Winter were just announced. Among them are two gigs in Japan (the usual suspects Tokyo and Osaka) and this is great news for those who were disappointed when Mew’s Japanese tour was cancelled due to the pandemic a few years ago. It has been a full seven […]

Mew have added a festival show in Somerset, England (near Bristol). ArcTanGent Festival, simply known as ATG, is a popular Summer festival that started in 2013. Usually festivals don’t announce daily programs immediately, but these guys did. The festival runs from 13th of August through 16th (Wednesday to Saturday) and Mew will play on Friday

Last month Mew announced the first two shows of their Farewell Tour with Jonas. Additional dates were expected and the first one out of the gate is a Summer festival in Finland. This is the second time that Mew will be headliners at Kesärauha Festival in the city of Turku. Their previous appearance at that

Well, that was a shocking Mew announcement, wasn’t it? There will be some final tour dates for Mew with Jonas still as the lead singer. Those tickets will probably sell super fast, even when the venues are larger than normally. As of now, two shows in Denmark have been announced and the venue in Copenhagen

London, England, UK (April 3, 2024) / Odense, Denmark (April 12, 2024) The greatest Mew show ever played was at La Maroquinerie in Paris, 12 November 2009.

Jonas Bjerre is, as we know, a man constantly with a lot of irons in the fire. When he’s not making music with Mew, he always seems to have some sort of art project going on, either solo or in collaboration with other artists. More recently he’s found a passion for modular synths, most notably

While on hiatus from their main projects, old friends Jonas Bjerre and Tobias Wilner (Blue Foundation) finally found the time to work on a project together. The first sign of life from the new supergroup, Tachys (presumably named after a type of ground beetle), was a cryptic social media post in January 2020. What this

Aarhus, Denmark (February 5, 2022) / Odense, Denmark (February 6, 2022) During Comforting Sounds, the man next to me shows his wife his raised arm, replete and complete with goosebumps and hair all stood up. This is Odense, February 2022, and in all respects, the few thousand of us who are the lucky ones tonight are

Turku, Finland (August 6, 2021) ”There are no perfect live shows.” Mew: ”Hold my smørrebrød.” Someone wrote this on Twitter right after the show, and it’s funny because it’s kind of true.
