James Blunt Plots 'Back To Bedlam' 20th Anniversary Tour

James Blunt is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his multi-platinum debut album, Back To Bedlam, today announcing arena dates for Australia and New Zealand in celebration of the album.

This October, the English singer-songwriter will perform the album in its entirety, including the #1 singles You’re Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover, as well as the successful tracks High and Wisemen. Back To Bedlam has been certified eight times Platinum in Australia since it debuted atop the ARIA Albums Chart in late 2004.

Blunt embarked on a sold-out tour of Australia just last year, but couldn’t let his fans Down Under miss out on the Back To Bedlam 20th anniversary festivities.

The tour begins at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Tuesday, 21 October, followed by the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday, 23 October, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday, 25 October, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday, 26 October, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, 28 October, and ends at Perth’s RAC Arena on Thursday, 30 October.

Early bird pre-sale tickets will be available from 9 am local time on Wednesday, 5 February (register here for access), before the general sale opens on Friday, 7 February, at 9 am local time. You can find more ticketing information on the Destroy All Lines website.

“New Zealand and Australia… I’m coming to get you,” Blunt said of the tour. “Following last year’s incredible tour of Oz, I knew I had to bring my Back To Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour to you guys Down Under, and this time we’re sneaking in New Zealand, and I can’t wait to see all of you! I promise to deliver an unforgettable show!”
