Richard Ashcroft, the iconic voice and former front man of The Verve has announced headlining tour dates in Australia this July. He will be accompanied by his new band, The United Nations of Sound.
Ashcroft previously released three critically acclaimed solo albums and is currently promoting his new single from The United Nations of Sound’s upcoming release, out in July/August this year. The first track made available from the album, titled ‘Are You Ready’, is as eager and motivational as the name suggests, serving as an enticing introduction to the new band (scroll down for the video).
Richard Ashcroft and The United Nations of Sound will perform their own original material, as well as songs from Richard Ashcroft’s extensive Verve and solo catalogue, in this first ever visit to Australia.
Frontier Members pre-sale begins Wednesday 26th May at 2pm AEST. General public on sale available from Monday 31st May, 9am local time.
