Spotlights announced as support act for AA Williams’ EU/UK tour

SPOTLIGHTS TO SUPPORT AA WILLIAMS ON EU/UK TOUR DATES

KICKING OFF IN LATE JAN 2026

Spotlights, the beloved trio of Mario and Sarah Quintero with drummer Chris Enriquez signed to Ipecac, are returning to the shores of the UK and Europe in support of AA Williams for a run of shows in early 2026. They’ve previously supported Mr Bungle on a UK and EU trek, as well as a small run of headline shows in 2024, performing from their album Alchemy For The Dead, an introspective work of gothic grandeur.
On their return, Mario comments;
“Third time’s a charm? Though we’ve had a great time playing across the pond, we haven’t had the best luck there. First time our rental car fell apart and we had to pay out of pocket for it, second time our van got broken into, and we lost thousands worth of merch in a fire. So, we think due to the laws probability this should be the one where all stars align!
“All that said, we still love performing in the UK/EU! And we’re incredibly excited to be supporting the great AA Williams.”

Dates and details below.
Tickets are on sale now, via Ipecac.com/tours.

PRAISE FOR SPOTLIGHTS LIVE:

“dreamy pleasantness… but with an edge” – THE SLEEPING SHAMAN

“The band are tight, moving quickly from one song to another to maximize their impact time and doing a damn good job of it in the process. They are an absolute wall of noise and it works so well in warming us all up for the fun to come. They get 40 minutes to impress, which they do with aplomb, undoubtedly gaining a number of new fans in the process” – UBER ROCK

“effortlessly heavy and Sarah Quintero bass rumbles like a symphony of Pneumatic drills… concocting a pensive sound that exists at the evil malevolent end of ambient.” – ROCK FLESH

 “nothing short of mesmerising” – THE RAZOR’S EDGE
