Arlo Parks
Mohawk Outdoor
Resound Presents: Arlo Parks in Austin, TX at Mohawk (outdoor) on Thursday, September 10, 2026. London-born Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut 2021 album Collapsed in Sunbeams, won Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 Brit Awards, and received two Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. She was coined "the voice of her generation". Her follow up My Soft Machine featured the likes of Phoebe Bridges and saw her continue to tour globally. 2025 saw her become the youngest ever appointed UNICEF Ambassador as she continues her humanitarian work. 2026 sees the release of her much anticipated third album Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of NYC's Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial,the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to unguarded self-expression, it is a life-affirming new piece of work from one of music's most irrepressible voices.
