James Blunt announces European tour for album ‘Who We Used To Be’; where is he playing in the UK + tickets

Taking time away from being perhaps one of the funniest, self-referential musicians to grace Twitter/X, musician James Blunt is set to release his brand new album “Who We Used To Be” on October 27 2023 and to celebrate, the “You’re Beautiful” singer has announced a widespread tour of Europe earlier today - with a number of UK dates confirmed in the process.

This would mark, according to Setlist.FM, the second time since 2022 that James Blunt will have performed live when he took to the stage at Feel Good festival in Belgium in September of that year, with a forthcoming BBC Radio 2 In The Park performance scheduled for September 16 2023.

The polarising singer first shot to fame through the release of his second single, “You’re Beautiful” from his album “Back to Bedlam” in 2005, which topped a number of singles charts across the world and at one stage could boast that his single “Goodbye, My Lover” was the most requested funeral song back in 2006. Though the singer has had detractors within the music industry (namely reviewers), he still remains a popular figure - especially thanks to his online presence.

Blunt has been known to take to Twitter at times to call out fans who have attempted to belittle him, and showing that he isn’t a “super serious artist” trope has on more than one occasion shown his lighter side. He performed a version of his hit single on Sesame Street, changing the lyrics to “My Triangle,” becoming one of a number of modern artists to grace the hallowed Children’s Workshop/Jim Henson Workshop institution.

“Who We Used To Be” is available for preorder now on vinyl and CD formats through the musician’s website, including an interesting looking “lenticular” CD edition and a recycled vinyl edition.
