Rahim Redcar (FKA Christine and the Queens) announces club tour

Rahim Redcar, formally known as Christine and the Queens, has announced details of a new club tour which will take place across the UK, Europe and North America.

The details of live shows come as the vocalist is celebrating the release of his new album ‘Hopecore’. Announced last month and shared last Friday (September 27), the project is entirely written, produced and mixed by Redcar, and made with “tears, blood, and mostly an unwavering faith in the raw, pure expression of the soul”.

Now, to celebrate the release, Redcar has announced a number of new live shows, all of which are set to take place next month and see tracks from the album played live.

Kicking off on November 1, the dates commence with an opening night at the Fabric venue in London, before continuing the following night with a slot at the Skatecafe in Amsterdam. Shows in Brussels and Barcelona follow on November 7 and 8 respectively, before Redcar heads back to the UK for an appearance at Homobloc Festival in Manchester on November 9.

From there, he’ll head over to Paris and Berlin, before going stateside later in the month. This includes a show in Brooklyn, New York, which is then followed by a final show at the D! Club in Lausanne, Switzerland on November 28.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday (October 3) at 10am local time. Find a list of tour dates below, and visit here for tickets.

Sharing news of the solo album last month, Rahim Redcar described the project as an intricate expression of his innermost thoughts. “Music took here its full prophetic vastness, got wilder, and called for an absolute quest where no one else came in to tamper with intentions,” he said. “A call of the flesh, a prayer for justice and freedom. Main vision achieved during mixing: a healing, metatronic purple grid.”

He also dropped the anthemic single, ‘Deep Holes’. Built around an intoxicating, pulsating beat, the track spotlights Redcar’s haunting vocals as he sings: “Never had this faith in me /That I could be that man /Yeah Yeah Yeah /Felt in disguise as I walked past, And you could be that guy.

The announcement of the new project came shortly after the vocalist performed at the Paris 2024 Paralympics Opening Ceremony. He sang the French classic ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’, and then closed the show with a rendition of ‘Born To Be Alive’.

Before then, he released ‘Rentrer Chez Moi’, a dreamy song that lyrically sees him wishing to return home. It marked the first single since the release of his 2023 album ‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’.

‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’ was released in June of that year and featured the likes of Madonna, 070 Shake and Mike Dean. In a three-star review of the album — a follow-up to 2022’s ‘Redcar les adorables étoiles’ – NME wrote: “The French artist’s fourth studio album is often weighed down by its own folly.”
