Hot off the heels of delivering an epic TEDtalk that quickly rose to internet fame as the fastest viewed talk in TED history, and a string of events at SXSW 2013 that saw Amanda Palmer duet with longtime hero, Billy Bragg-- Amanda and her raucous crew, The Grand Theft Orchestra, are thrilled to announce re-scheduled European tour dates for 2013 to make up for the previously cancelled bolt across the continent in March. As part of the European tour, Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra will play the following UK dates: July 2013 Thursday 11th Manchester The Ritz Friday 12th London Roundhouse Saturday 13th Brighton Concorde 2 Monday 15th O2 Academy Bristol Tuesday 16th Birmingham The Institute Tickets go on general sale on Friday 5th April priced £17.50 (regionally) / £19.50 (London) (subject to booking fee) from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
