Mimi Barks has pushed her UK tour back to September

Mimi Barks has announced that her UK headlining tour, due to start in a couple of weeks on March 31, has been pushed back to September, following delays in getting new music ready.

“I know a lot of you were ready for these shows and I appreciate the energy and support around them," wrote Mimi in a post on Instagram. "I’m currently finishing up my new, fully independent EP and the plan was always to have at least two singles out before the tour began. That rollout hasn’t lined up the way it should have, so I’m taking a little more time to release the music properly.

“I want to give you the best possible experience at my shows and the new EP is an important part of that vision. Swarm6ix is still gonna be on the bill and all tickets remain valid for the new dates. There will also be further announcements coming soon.

“And to balance the news a bit, the first new single drops April 2. I’m excited to finally share it with you."

Mimi has spent the past couple of months in America, working on music ahead of the Deaddollz tour across the U.S., with Little Miss Nasty and GG Magree.

In December, she announced the tour with the promise of new music, signifying the start of a fresh chapter after overcoming problems in making her next album.

“I went silent because something was taken from me,” she explained. “My album, stolen by the person I created it with. But defeat isn’t the downfall, it’s an obstacle, and obstacles sharpen the mind. What was lost became fuel. Transform pain into creation, shape something from nothing. Expression is the purpose.

“I return with new music, a new EP in 2026 and a flood of new visuals forged from the aftermath. Not a replacement, but a rebirth. A new era begins now.

“Heavier. Clearer. Uncompromised. I’m looking forward to being back in the UK to celebrate new beginnings…”

The tour now starts on September 9.
