Parviz plays The New Adelphi Club on his Khorshid Khanoom Tour, supported by Wiffeney.
Parviz plays The New Adelphi Club on Wednesday 25 November, with Wiffeney supporting. It's the second leg of the Khorshid Khanoom tour, following a UK run earlier this year that saw five sold-out shows.
The tour is built around Parviz's self-titled debut album, due out in 2026, which looks back to Iran's pre-revolutionary 1970s music scene. The lead single, 'Azadeh' — a female name meaning 'free spirit' and 'independence' — nods to the 'Woman Life Freedom' movement and the mass uprisings in Iran, with artwork by Rana Fadavi. The follow-up, 'Sappho's Fragments', aired on BBC Radio 6 and has passed half a million streams. Parviz describes the project as flowery, kaleidoscopic and contemplative, and compares it to the Iranian music show Rangarang, mixing DIY aesthetics with indie flair.
Wiffeney opens the night. The project is the work of two best friends: Grammy-nominated drummer and producer Jai D, who has worked with Jay Z, Tyler The Creator and Haelos, and animator Steph Hope, of FX Networks and Haruomi Hosono. Their sound pairs soulful vocals over infectious rhythms, sprawling guitars and gloopy synths, backed by their trademark psychedelic visuals.
