Arlo Parks brings her Mercury Prize pedigree to the Howard Theatre on Saturday at 8 p.m., folding hushed indie pop, husky alt R&B, and diaristic lyricism into patient, glowing songs. The London artist turns private pages into communal choruses without losing any intimacy. With new material in the set, she leans into subtle dancefloor pulses and glimmering synths while keeping the poetry and warmth that anchored Collapsed in Sunbeams.
Event details
Arlo ParksLondon-born Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut 2021 album Collapsed in Sunbeams, won Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 Brit Awards, and received two Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. She was coined the voice of her generation. Her follow up My Soft Machine featured the likes of Phoebe Bridges and saw her continue to tour globally. 2025 saw her become the youngest ever appointed UNICEF Ambassador as she continues her humanitarian work. 2026 sees the release of her much anticipated third album Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of NYCs Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial,the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to unguarded self-expression, it is a life-affirming new piece of work from one of musics most irrepressible voices.
