James Blunt has announced a 2025 tour through North America to mark the 20th anniversary of his 2005 album, Back to Bedlam. The tour will feature the LP played in its entirety.
The 14-city leg of the “Back to Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour” kicks off in Toronto on June 12th. After two more stops in Canada, Blunt will arrive in the US for eight shows. The trek will then wrap with three nights in the Mexican cities of Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara.
An artist pre-sale is set for Wednesday, October 9th at 10:00 a.m. local time, followed by a Live Nation pre-sale (use code TEMPO) on Thursday, October 10th at 10:00 a.m. local time. Tickets will then become available to the general public via Ticketmaster on Friday, October 11th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
“I’ve been touring now for 20 years, and really, it’s only Back to Bedlam that people want to hear, so on that album’s 20th anniversary, what better way to celebrate than to head out on the ‘Back to Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour!’” he shared in a statement. “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.”
Anchored by breakout single “You’re Beautiful,” the album will also receive a special remastered release that features the original tracklist, plus a mix of live performances and demos, arriving on October 11th. Pre-order the anniversary album in CD or vinyl format; orders will begin shipping in the coming weeks.
Recently, the good-natured artist vowed to change his name to anything the general public votes upon if the re-released album hits No. 1.
