Novo Amor on Tour
The soft-spoken and melancholy voice is a staple for the ultra-talented singer, songwriter and producer Novo Amor. The Welsh indie-rock and folk artist is set to commence his 2022 tour, making 28 stops across Brazil, Canada and the United States. Novo Amor's multi-instrumental talent mixed with his hypnotic and soulful singing creates an incredible performance. One concertgoer wrote, "Novo Amor was absolutely amazing live. Their vocals are unreal. It was one of the best concerts I've ever attended, so glad I got to go." First finding success in 2014 with his EP Woodgate, NY, Novo Amor continued to produce and release mesmerizing hits. Following his first EP, Novo Amor released Bathing Beach in 2017 and his dual album with Ed Tullett, Heiress, that same year. Novo Amor's debut album, Birthplace, was released in 2018 and was soon followed by his short two-song EP No Fun / Lucky For You with Gia Margaret. His next album, Cannot Be, Whatsoever, followed in 2020, and his most recent album, Antarctican Dream Machine, was released in 2022.
Novo Amor was born Ali John Meredith-Lacey in Llanidloes, Wales. He currently lives in his half-home, half-music studio in Cardiff, Wales. He began his music career following a breakup, choosing the name Novo Amor, meaning "New Love" in Portuguese. Novo Amor's interest in music began around the age of 10 when he started skateboarding. In an interview with performermag.com Novo Amor said, "Skateboarding and music seemed to go hand in hand, with all the music you hear on the skate tapes." From there, he fell in love with rock and punk music, listening to bands like Green Day, The Offspring and AFI. Novo Amor joined his first band at 13 and has been producing and recording music ever since. His unique and beautifully produced 2015 cover of Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" was used in an Axe/Lynx advertising campaign. Novo Amor has more than 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with his most popular songs "Anchor," "State Lines" and "Carry You" having a combined more than 430 million streams.

Great artist, great venue (prefer the smaller size), friendly staff, good screening process- overall good experience!
Great concert, great vocals, nice venue............
The venu was very crowded and overpacked, no way to see the artist unless you were towering over everyone.
I’m super grateful Novo Amor made this tour to America happen. Easily one of the best concerts I’ve been to.
Ali is incredible live. His vocals are so beautiful and he's very sweet. Gave us Twix❤️ I HIGHLY recommend seeing him!
The acoustics, the details, the filters on the vocals, the set list, everything was perfect! I would go to all of his shows!
I loved it so much. Novo Amor is one of my favorites and I was in awe the whole time. Check in / ticket scanning was super easy and the atmosphere was nice. My only complaint was how expensive the alcoholic drinks were!!
This show was downright spiritual for me! Novo amor has gotten me through so much over the last 4 years. Seeing him was such an emotional experience. He sounded even better in person. I somehow got lucky enough to end up with his set list which he signed and I even got a photo with him. His crew was absolutely lovely Hands down the best show I’ve ever been to! The VIP at the observatory is 100% worth it It’s such a great venue. I met Yellowcard here 6 years ago and no I always check to see who’s coming!
Literally puts on a great show!! The venue was small and intimate. So incredibly talented playing multiple instruments and engaging the crowd. So fun!!
I’ve been a fan of Novo Amor for some time, and getting to see him perform live was like a dream come true. I stood at the front next to the stage, which I never got to do, and enjoyed the concert with so much joy. Every second was a gift for me and Novo Amor helped with that.
