With his forthcoming album ‘Battle’ recorded and ready for release later this year, Patrick Wolf is heading out for a handful of dates in March where he will preview new tracks along with past classics. A full UK tour will follow in May.
“After taking a break from touring last year, I am excited to be back onstage to perform my new album, ‘Battle’. While recording throughout 2008 I did a few unadvertised personal shows that helped me remember my passion for performance after 13 years of curtain calls and spotlights. The tour is starting in England and will see me and my band revisit Russia, Japan, Australia and the USA over a period of two years. I'm so very excited to get back on the open road and onstage where I belong. These dates are just the first few warm ups to what will be a long and wonderful journey. I am planning to present a whole new bigger production and vision to what I have delivered in the past… So be prepared for many surprises and new arrangements of the best from the last three albums… See you there… Back to rehearsals now…” Patrick Wolf.
‘Battle’ is being released through Patrick’s own label, Bloody Chamber Music, and funded via Bandstocks.com, the revolutionary funding vehicle that allows fans, indeed anyone, to take a stake in an album’s success through buying stocks at £10 a time. The album will feature award winning actress, Tilda Swinton, as the narrative ‘voice of hope’.
In line with the multitude of exclusive benefits that buyers of Bandstocks receive in return; from 9am Wednesday 28th January for one week Bandstock applicants will be able to purchase tickets exclusively prior to them going on sale to the general public.
