Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra Announce UK dates as part of European Tour 

’It is the sheer raw talent and the acerbic, perceptive songwriting which elevates Palmer above the sorry sea of wannabe Kate Bushes.’ - Independent on Sunday ***** 

‘Theatre Is Evil feels like sitting on the bed of your tattooed, far cooler cousin 30 years ago, while she tells you "all you need to know" about music’  - Guardian **** 

‘a bombastic offering of forthright glam-pop and poignant piano-pushed desire’ - NME 7/10

 ‘a vivid splurge of new wave, glam-rock and showtunes, armed with lyrics as punchy and memorable as their melodies’  - Q **** ‘

an extraordinary talent’ – Telegraph ***** 

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.

All tickets purchased for the original March tour dates will remain valid for the rescheduled dates in each city. 

With a handful of summer festivals thrown into the mix- all headlining dates find singer, songwriter, piano-slayer and super-blogger Amanda Palmer, and her band, continuing to promote her arguably most pop-influenced album yet, Theatre Is Evil. Tour-mates The Simple Pleasure and Jherek Bischoff are on board as main support acts in all markets.
