Notts: James Blunt landing at Nottingham Arena in November

With three world tours, four number one singles, five Grammy awards, two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello awards and a host of MTV awards and seven whole years on the road under his belt, it’s no wonder that James Blunt has achieved sales of 17 million albums and 20 million singles worldwide.

The tour comes with the release of Blunt’s fourth album, Moon Landing, an album about getting back to basics and rediscovering the power of music to communicate emotion directly and honestly, without polish or complication.

The tour promises to showcase the musician’s latest work alongside the back catalogue of hits that propelled Blunt to international stardom.

Speaking about the new album, Blunt said: “There’s just something romantic, old-school and lonely about the moon landings.”

“A nostalgic memory of something huge that we can hardly believe we once achieved, and for some sad reason, can’t achieve again – like first love.”

Tickets for his Nottingham gig are priced £43.12 and £54.32 and available on 0843 373 3000 or online at www.capitalfmarena.com/online/jamesblunt
