Three Sixty Festival
Kae Tempest: Having Spent Life Seeking
Kae Tempest returns for an intimate evening of performance and conversation, celebrating the release of his decade-in-the-making new novel.
In celebration of the release of his forthcoming novel Having Spent Life Seeking, Sunday Times-bestselling wordsmith and Mercury Prize nominated-musician Kae Tempest welcomes you to a very special evening of performance and conversation at the Roundhouse as part of the Three Sixty festival.
Set to be released around the time of the show in April 2026, the heart-breaking, soul-building new novel centres around the transformative power of love. A decade in the making, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. The things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen.
Celebrated for his raw honesty, lyrical brilliance, and spellbinding live shows, we’re thrilled to have Kae performing and in conversation at what will be a truly unique event.
Every ticket includes a copy of Having Spent Life Seeking (RRP £18.99). Your book will be available to collect on the evening of the event.
