Richard Ashcroft has added two more shows to his 2017 UK touring.
With arena dates in Glasgow, Birmingham and Leeds, as well as an appearance at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl for Sounds Of The City, already due and backing last year’s These People LP, the former Verve man has added a show at the Academy in Newcastle on April 17th and later the Brixton Academy in London on July 1st to the itinerary.
It may well be Manchester where Ashcroft is going to be joined by Liam Gallagher; “I played a show with Noel a few months ago and I’m playing with Liam later in the year,” he told Radio X recently.
