Following the huge international success of 7th album ‘Rock Dust Light Star’, which this month charted in more than 20 countries, Jamiroquai announce their first UK tour in over five years for next April and the release of a new single entitled ‘Lifeline’ on January 23rd 2011.
The band will also be touring Europe in the spring preceding the UK dates, which are as follows:
Friday 15th April LONDON THE O2 ARENA 0844 856 0202
Sunday 17th April BIRMINGHAM LG ARENA 0844 338 8000
Tuesday 19th April MANCHESTER MEN ARENA 0844 847 8000
Wednesday 20th April GLASGOW SECC DFC 0844 499 9990
Frontman Jay Kay said this week: “I can't wait to get back out on the road and tour, particularly round the UK where we haven't toured for a while. We’re looking forward to playing stuff from the new album, as well as giving you new twists on plenty of the old hits.”
Skitting between a hook laden chorus replete with honky tonk piano, and a lilting verse featuring 70’s style funk horns and lilting strings, ‘Lifeline’ (released 23rd January, Mercury Music Group) is the second single taken from the Top 10 album, Rock Dust Light Star, and a track that’s bound to become a firm live favourite during next year’s arena tour.
With a seventh hit album under their belts and adding to their 25 million plus albums sold to date, plus a shelf full of awards, including five MTV gongs, an Ivor Novello and a Grammy Jamiroquai, are a band on fire (as witnessed by those who saw their Hyde Park Show with Stevie Wonder this summer). Their first tour in 5 years is sure to be a must see for fans old and new.
