James Blunt has expanded his 20-year Back To Bedlam celebration with added dates including stops at Central Park’s Summerstage in New York City on June 17 and The Greek in Los Angeles on June 27.
James explains via press release, “I’ve released seven studio albums, but 'Back To Bedlam' was the one people actually bought. So on its twentieth anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it’s worth. It was one of the biggest selling albums of the Noughties, so here’s hoping it makes a dent in the 20’s.”
“I’ve been touring now for twenty years, and really, it’s only 'Back To Bedlam' that people want to hear… so on that album’s twentieth anniversary, what better way to celebrate than to head out on the 'Back To Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour'!” James explains. “I’ll play all the songs from 'Back To Bedlam' in full, from start to finish, and chuck in the better known songs from later albums to finish. It’s going to be, well, it pains me to say it… beautiful.”
Pre-orders for the expanded album, set for release on October 11 featuring fully-remastered tracks, b-sides, demos, and more are available now. Formats include digital, red recycled color vinyl, 2xCD, and a 6-panel softpak with a 16-page booklet. Scroll below to see the 25-song tracklisting and James' full North American tour itinerary.
