UK & EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR
STARTS MARCH 20TH 2024

 
Toby Sebastian has released his brand new single‘Down The Westside’ahead of kicking off his headline tour across the UK & Europe later this month.
 
The new single from the highly acclaimed British musician and actor is a powerful indie rock track which boasts a soulful blues-laced rock ‘n’ roll swagger made for striding down the Sunset Strip, paired with an inescapable chorus of infectious “oooos” to soundtrack the night as it really gets loose.
 
Ahead of its global release today (March 8th) players of the multi-million user mobile music gameBeatstarhave had their chance to tap their way through the riffs and rhythms of ‘Down The Westside’ exclusively in app this week. The song is now available worldwide on all streaming platformshere.
 
Regarding the single Toby says,“‘Down The Westside’ is one of those songs that came out of nowhere. When Matty Benbrook (producer and cowriter) and I sat down to have a jam with Donny Little (co-writer of Paolo Nutini’s first album and my current guitarist) we exchanged ideas as the song unfolded. It felt so in tune with the rock artists that I grew up listening to - elements of the likes of Bowie, Marc Bolan, and the Arctic Monkeys.
 
“The song is unlike anything I’ve ever written before. Exploring this new sound was a refreshing departure from my usual style and a chance to embrace a different tone. ‘Down The Westside’ to me is a testament to the power of spontaneous collaboration. I feel the song has an energy that is impossible to resist.”

‘Down The Westside’ is a taste of Toby’s forthcoming album due for release later this year. Fans can expect to hear the brand new single and more from his highly anticipated record live during his upcoming headline tour.
 
The tour will start with 10 dates in the UK, kicking off in Cardiff at Clwb Ifor Bach on March 20th and finishing at London’s Bush Hall on April 11th.
