The announcement arrives alongside details of his forthcoming special remastered version of ‘Back To Bedlam’, due out on 11 October 2024.
One of the top ten best-selling albums of the Noughties, the reissue will arrive twenty years to the day of its initial release.
Included in the 20th anniversary release comes a special version of the original album remastered for 2024 by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis, in addition to previously unreleased demos of the core songs from the album, plus previously unreleased songs from the Bedlam era.
Discussing the upcoming tour, the singer-songwriter commented, “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’!” he explained. “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.”
