Lost Romance Announces Intimate U.K. Solo Acoustic Tour

originally published: 04/23/2026

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- New Jersey alt/punk outfit Lost Romance is set to cross the Atlantic this spring for a special run of stripped-down, solo acoustic performances across the United Kingdom. Taking place May 14–19, 2026, the tour offers fans a rare chance to experience the band's music in its most raw and personal form.

Known for their emotionally charged songwriting and high-energy live shows, Lost Romance will trade distortion and drums for a more intimate atmosphere—spotlighting the heart of their catalog through acoustic reinterpretations. The tour will feature select cities throughout England, with venues chosen to create a close connection between artist and audience.

“This tour is about getting back to the core of what these songs mean,” says singer Gerry Perlinski. “Playing them acoustically gives us a chance to tell the stories behind them in a way that feels honest and immediate. We’re excited to bring that experience to fans in the U.K.”

The U.K. run marks Lost Romance’s first international acoustic tour and reflects their growing global fanbase. The band has built a reputation in the U.S. alt/punk scene for blending gritty guitar work with introspective lyrics, and this tour offers a fresh perspective on their evolving sound. Guest stars on their latest single, “Limousine” includes renowned British drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Eric Clapton and Average White Band), plus American bassist, Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz, Little Steven, Spin Doctors).

The May run follows a period of growing momentum for Lost Romance, who have built a dedicated following through relentless touring and a string of releases that blend punk urgency with alternative sensibility. This acoustic tour marks both a creative departure and a personal milestone as the band expands its reach internationally.
