FKA twigs
Presented by Park Avenue Armory and Red Bull Music Festival
May 11, 2019 - May 12, 2019
Wade Thompson Drill Hall
FKA twigs emerged as an enigma. From her earliest spellbinding music videos to her critically-acclaimed debut LP1 (2014), the English singer, dancer, producer, and choreographer’s distinctive amalgam of electronic music, R&B, and avant-garde pop has entertained fans as much as it has intrigued them. With vocals either as fragile as crystal stemware or sharp as a katana blade, she’s created songs that pulse with sexuality but reveal only glimpses of the woman who owns it.
FKA twigs returns to New York City for the first time since dazzling audiences over three nights at her 2015 Red Bull Music Festival show, Congregata. Co-presented with Red Bull Music Festival, twigs will perform for two nights in the Armory’s Wade Thompson Drill Hall. The Armory has previously worked with Red Bull Music Festival to produce extraordinary one-of-a-kind shows for Anohni (2016) and Oneohtrix Point Never (2018).

“…[FKA twigs explores] the complexities of fundamental interpersonal intimacy within a spellbinding electronic pop aesthetic.”
