It’s been 40 years since Alison Moyet left the iconic pop duo Yazoo and fired up a solo career with her #1 debut album Alf and Top 10 hits ‘Love Resurrection’ and ‘All Cried Out’. That unmistakable voice - big enough to fill a stadium and yet intimate enough to make you feel as though she’s singing to you only - has taken her on quite the journey since, with career highlights including two #1 albums, six Top 10 singles, two BRIT Awards and a GRAMMY nomination.

Today, in celebration of 40 years as a solo artist and ahead of the release of her latest album Key, which drops on 4th October, Moyet has announced a 2025 world headline tour, which includes a show in the 3Olympia Theatre on 16th February 2025 and Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on 17th February.

Tickets for go on sale Friday 21st June at 10am via Ticketmaster and Waterfront Hall, for her Belfast show.

“Live work really matters to me. I can’t dial in a performance," the singer says of her upcoming tour. "I love the physical feeling that singing gives me. It’s totally primal and euphoric. On stage I remember how to connect with myself.”

Following her recent graduation from Brighton University in 2023 with a first-class degree in Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons), Alison Moyet has combined both art and music on Key, creating the album art herself to celebrate her dazzling solo career - a collection of 16 reworked singles, fan favourites and deep cuts as well as two new songs which combine to present a blazing showcase of the depth and breadth of her artistic creativity and songwriting.

She launches the album by sharing one of its brand new songs, ‘Such Small Ale’ alongside the reworked classic Moyet single ‘All Cried Out’.

The lavish new single ‘Such Small Ale’ fits naturally alongside such classics, with Alison’s voice seasoned by experience but losing none of its emotion-inspiring grandeur. It’s also a song that’s the perfect fit for how her voice has developed, one that feels both contemporary but with a hint of nostalgic ‘60s flavour. Alison wrote the song with musical director Sean McGhee and Suede guitarist Richard Oakes, the latter of whom performs on several tracks on the album.
