Extra Date For An Evening With Rufus Wainwright

Due to overwhelming public demand, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright has announced a third new London date to his forthcoming UK shows – the 3rd to be added in less than 2 weeks.

Showcasing his eagerly awaited new album ‘Release The Stars’ with a 7-piece band including a horn section, he’ll now play London’s legendary Old Vic on June 1st as well as May 27th, 28th, 29th and 31st.

The full list of dates is now:

May
24th Portsmouth, Guild Hall
25th Bristol, Colston Hall
27th London, The Old Vic
28th London, The Old Vic
29th London, The Old Vic
31st London, The Old Vic

June
1st London, The Old Vic *New Date*

Tickets are on sale now.

The 7 keenly awaited shows follow the LP ‘Release The Stars’ on May 14th, and the politically punchy first single ‘Going To A Town’ on April 30th (i-Tunes package, May 7th).

A 12-track masterclass in songwriting and production, it’s undoubtedly one of the albums of 2007.

Written and produced by Rufus, Neil Tennant is the album’s executive producer while long-time collaborators Marius de Vries and Andy Bradfield mixed it.

Rufus will also perform at America’s Coachella Festival, April 27th.
