After a spectacular world premiere that closed this summer’s Big
Feastival in front of more than 20,000 fans, Alex James’ Britpop Classical
will hit the road for its first ever UK tour next year including a date in Llangollen.
Bringing the biggest hits of the Britpop era to life with the epic scale
of a full live orchestra, this one-of-a-kind live experience will headline TK
Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion on Sunday June 28.
Tickets go on general sale at midday Friday via llangollen.net and
ticketmaster.co.uk
Created and performed by Blur bassist and Big Feastival founder Alex
James, the show takes the best songs from a golden age of British music:
Classic tunes from Blur, Oasis and Pulp to Supergrass and The Verve and
performs them in a powerful symphonic format with a live band, and guest
vocalists alongside the London Concert Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic
Concert Orchestra.
Joining James on stage will be an all-star guest line-up including Phil
Daniels, Saffron of Republica, and Gary Stringer of Reef, with more names to be
announced soon.
Alex James said: “Somehow all of these songs mean more to people now than they did
when they were first released. They really resonate with my kids' generation
too. Bringing them back to life with a symphony orchestra, a kick ass band,
some old friends and very special guests totally blew the roof off at Feastival
and I absolutely cannot wait to get this show on the road.”
A celebration of one of British music’s most beloved eras, Britpop
Classical transforms familiar anthems into something fresh, ambitious and
emotionally resonant – an unforgettable night for both original fans and new
generations alike.
The show is produced by RG Live who have joined forces with Metropolis
Music and Cuffe & Taylor to promote the UK tour.

has always been a place where music brings people together in spectacular ways,
and Alex James is bringing something truly special to our stage.
“Britpop
Classical is a huge celebration of the anthems that defined a generation,
reimagined with the power and drama of a full orchestra. With iconic hits,
singalongs, and that unmistakable Llangollen atmosphere, it’s set to be a
night to remember.”
