KINDNESS
Liebe Kindness Fans,
leider müssen wir euch mitteilen, dass das Konzert abgesagt werden muss. Bereits gekaufte Tickets können bei den jeweiligen Ticketanbietern zurückgegeben werden.
Das offizielle Statement von Kindness findet ihr hier:
„As many of you will be aware, it’s been a somewhat hard year - the death of a close friend has perhaps left me feeling more fragile than I knew, something I found out on this most recent tour. With regret, I have asked my agents and management to decrease the number of shows planned for next year. There has already been one cancellation this year in Japan and I received messages which showed how disappointed and upset you were. I know these decisions can seem inconsiderate to you all, but they are choices I have agonised over. I have genuinely taken so much joy and solace in meeting you all at shows, and hearing your stories of connection with the music, but recent dates in America were incredibly hard. I’m hoping that this is only a temporary setback, but I found myself having anxiety attacks on the road between shows, and feeling deeply unwell. I was so afraid about driving that I eventually had to find alternative ways to travel between some cities. In one motel I was so shaken by the journey I made a will! These are not sustainable behaviors.
I would ask for your generosity and understanding at this time. Music is a full time job for me, with all of the inbuilt financial precarity and risk. When I’m not on the road I’m constantly working, writing and producing for other people, and there isn’t much down time. I truly enjoy the work I do, but it’s demanding, and the recent increase in responsibility has been daunting also. My decision to self release my music means there is a long term reward in that I will always own my masters, but there is no label to support the release, or the tour, or the band. It’s something I pay out of pocket, in its entirety, and that has meant having to sacrifice some of the niceties which makes touring more comfortable. We’re planning on keeping a number of shows next year, and playing festivals, which are less overwhelming than consecutive tour dates. To the people in those cities for whom there will be a cancellation, I’m really sorry, and I hope that at some point in the future there’ll be a chance to make it up to you."
Wir danken euch für euer Verständnis!

Anfang des Jahres kündigte der britische Sänger und Musiker Adam Bainbridge alias Kindness sein drittes Studioalbum „Something Like A War“ an. Es folgte eine kleine restlos ausverkaufte Tour mit Shows in London, Paris, NYC, LA und Berlin. Nun kommt Kindness mit seiner vierköpfigen Liveband und seinem brandneuen Album „Something Like A War“ für zwei weitere Deutschlandshows im Januar zurück auf Tour!
Seit 2012 steht Adam Bainbridge unter seinem Künstlernamen Kindness auf der Bühne. Sein Sound ist ein einzigartiger Mix aus R&B, House, Electronica und Pop. Nach zwei Alben „World, You Need A Change Of Mind“ 2012 und „Otherness“ (2014), sowie einer vierjährigen Pause meldet sich Kindness nun mit seinem dritten Studioalbum „Something Like A War“ (VÖ 9. September) zurück. Das Album umfasst dreizehn Songs, darunter ein Duett mit der schwedischen Pop-Ikone Robyn, sowie Gastauftritten von Seinabo Sey und R&B-Star Jazmine Sullivan.
