Blur’s Alex James has announced he will bring his ‘Britpop Classical’ tour to Australia this year.

The shows will see the legendary bassist perform some of the biggest songs in the Britpop era alongside a full live orchestra and some very special guests. Kicking off this November in the Gold Coast, the tour will then move through Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth.

Fans heading to the concerts can expect to hear hits from Blur, as well as Oasis, Pulp and The Verve, to name a few.

“Somehow all of these songs mean more to people now than they did when they were first released,” James said.

“Bringing them back to life with a symphony orchestra, a kick-ass band, some old friends and very special guests have been brilliant – and I absolutely cannot wait to get this show to Australian audiences.”

General public tickets go on sale from 11am local time on Friday, April 24th. Click here for more details and check out all of the dates below.
