James Blunt announces Newcastle gig at Utilita Arena as part of 2020 UK tour

James Blunt has announced a major 2020 UK and European tour including a must see show in Newcastle.

He will play at the city's Utilita Arena on Monday, February 17, 2020.

It follows the news that his sixth studio album, ‘Once Upon A Mind’, will be released on October 25th via Atlantic Records.

After flirting with electronica on his last album, James Blunt returns to what he does best on new album ‘Once Upon A Mind’, writing classic songs that touch both the heart and the head.

Highlights are many and include the breezy first single ‘Cold’, the poignant ballad ‘Monsters’, the pop swagger of ‘5 Miles’ and the country tinged ‘Halfway.’

There’s a warmth that permeates the entire album, and a real sense of personality.

James Blunt released his first album, ‘Back To Bedlam’ in the autumn of 2004 and soon after the single ‘You’re Beautiful’ became a global smash hit.

He has sold over 23 million albums and has showcased his wit and charm more recently with his always engaging twitter account.

Tickets will go on sale 9.00am Friday 6th September and are available online here, from the booking hotline number 0844 493 6666 or from 11.00am in person from the Utilita Arena Box Office. Please note venue facility and booking fees will apply.
