Emeli Sande bringing debut album anniversary tour to Nottingham
One of Britain’s most acclaimed and distinctive singer-songwriters Emeli Sande hitting the road next year for a UK tour to celebrate 15 years of her landmark debut album Our Version of Events.
The tour will see her performing the eight-time platinum album in full, alongside her greatest hits.
And it comes to Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on February 19.
Our Version of Events was the biggest-selling album in the UK in both 2012 and 2013, selling more than five million copies worldwide, and spawning hits like Next To Me, Read All About It and Clown.
It won British Album of the Year at the 2013 BRIT Awards, while Next to Me received two Ivor Novello Awards.
The record spent an extraordinary 66 consecutive weeks in the UK Official Albums Chart Top 10, setting a record for the longest unbroken top 10 run by a debut album, surpassing the 62-week run of The Beatles’ Please, Please Me.
Throughout Emeli’s remarkable career, she has sold millions of albums worldwide, earned four BRIT Awards, established herself as a highly sought after songwriter, having collaborated with the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, and received an MBE for her services to music.
The power of her live presence has brought her all around the world, from headline tours and major festivals to some of the most significant cultural events in the UK, including performing at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
This year saw her continuing to make her mark on the live stage with performances all over the globe, including a performance at BBC Radio 2 in the Park, alongside Chaka Khan, Lulu and The Script.
As part of National Album Day’s ‘icons’ theme, she released a special gold vinyl edition of Our Version of Events which came out on October 17, celebrating its lasting cultural impact.
