Haim Discuss Their Evolution and Upcoming 'I Quit' Tour

Renowned American pop rock band Haim, consisting of sisters Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim, are poised to embark on their 'I Quit' tour, following the release of their latest album of the same name. In a recent interview with Music Week, the trio emphasized the importance of self-awareness in achieving success, stating, "knowing what’s good for yourself" is crucial for their journey in the music industry.

This weekend, Haim is set to perform in Margate, England, with speculation mounting about a potential surprise appearance at the prestigious Glastonbury Festival. CAA's Mike Greek underscored the band's live performance prowess, calling them a "fantastic rock’n’roll band" and citing their impressive show at Glastonbury in 2022 and a sold-out performance at All Points East in 2023 as key milestones in solidifying their reputation.

Alana Haim reflected on their journey, acknowledging the twists and turns they have encountered. "If you had told 13-year-old Alana that I would be sitting here talking about our fourth album, I would have thought you were crazy," she remarked. Her sentiment echoes the band's collective experience as they prepare to return to The O2 arena, where they previously concluded a tour to rave reviews. "It was the most mind-blowing show; we sold it out," she added, expressing gratitude towards their UK fans.

Danielle Haim emphasized their commitment to live performances, stating, "We take playing live very seriously. Every time we go on stage, we have an opener mentality. We want everyone leaving our show feeling, ‘wow, Haim gave it their all.’” This dedication is evident in their rigorous performance schedule, which included appearances at notable festivals such as BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Primavera Sound.

As they gear up for the 'I Quit' tour, Alana hinted at exciting changes for their live shows, suggesting they may experiment with extended versions of their songs and incorporate new solos to keep the performances fresh and engaging. "It feels like we have so much more to accomplish; this doesn't feel like anything other than a beginning again," she stated, capturing the band's enduring enthusiasm.

Haim’s trajectory exemplifies the evolving landscape of the music industry, where authenticity and audience connection remain paramount. As they prepare for their tour, the band's commitment to their craft and their fans remains steadfast, embodying the essence of live music where, as Alana puts it, "that’s where the magic happens for us."
