**Alex James**: Off the back of sold out shows in the UK, **Mellen Events** is thrilled to announce Blur’s **Alex James** will be taking his **Britpop Classical **tour to Australia.   The shows will bring the biggest hits of the Britpop** **era to life with the epic scale of a full live orchestra.

This will be led by Blur’s, **Alex James**, with cameos from some very special guests and this unique concert reimagines the songs that defined a generation, delivering an electrifying blend of melodies and stunning classical arrangements.

This one-of-a-kind live experience will open at The Star, Gold Coast before heading to Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney & Perth.  Tickets go on general sale Friday 24th April at 11.00am**, **following a series of pre-sales earlier that week.

Created and performed by **Blur **bassist, the show takes the best songs from a golden age of British music: classic tunes from Blur, Oasis and Pulp to Supergrass and The Verve, and performs them in a powerful symphonic format with a live band / guest vocalists alongside local orchestras.

*“Somehow all of these songs mean more to people now than they did when they were first released,”* says **Alex**.* “Bringing them back to life with a symphony orchestra, a kick-ass band, some old friends and very special guests have been brilliant – and I absolutely cannot wait to get this show to Australian audiences.”*

A celebration of one of British music’s most beloved eras, **Britpop Classical**transforms familiar anthems into something fresh, ambitious and emotionally resonant – an unforgettable night for both original fans and new generations alike.
