Summary
Muna will play their biggest UK venues to date in November on the Gets So Hot Tour, marking a new scale-up for the LA trio a decade after forming in 2013.
The tour follows the release of fourth album Dancing On The Wall, which the band says channels anger, helplessness and a need for movement into darker, dance-driven songs.
Big Stick stands out as the album’s sharpest political track, taking aim at American imperialism, war in Gaza and the militarisation of US police.
The band’s rise accelerated after Phoebe Bridgers signed them in 2021, helping turn Silk Chiffon into a breakthrough after RCA dropped Muna in 2020.
Muna say their growing crowds also reflect queer pop’s wider mainstream breakthrough, even as they push for their explicitly queer songs to be heard as universal.
