Ian Brown announces tour dates

• 16th May 2007

According to the NME Ian Brown kicks off a 22 date tour this September. Starting in Newcastle on the 27th, the tour coincides with the release of Brown’s fifth solo album – that has a working title of “The World Is Yours”. Brown is working with former Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke and the Happy Mondays Paul Ryder.

Speaking to the NME Brown says, “I know everyone always says their latest is their best, but I really feel that this time. I’ve really gone all out with the lyrics and melodies. I’m trying to make my own “What’s Going On”. It’s going to be something really beautiful, with violins, dead sharp beats, socially conscious lyrics – this time around, I’m trying to bury everything I’ve ever done.”

Catch Brown at Liverpool University on October 26th.
