’New Zealand and Australia… I’m coming to get you! Following last year’s incredible tour of Oz, I knew I had to bring my Back To Bedlam 20th Anniversary Tour to you guys Down Under, and this time we’re sneaking in New Zealand, and I can’t wait to see all of you! I promise to deliver an unforgettable show!’ – James Blunt

Released in October 2004, Back to Bedlam marked the debut of singer-songwriter James Blunt. The album includes the globally acclaimed #1 singles “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover,” along with other notable tracks such as “High” and “Wisemen.” It achieved significant commercial success, reaching #1 on the ARIA album charts and earning the #8 spot on the ARIA Top 100 Albums of the 2000s. Certified 8× Platinum in Australia, it was also the highest-selling album in the UK for 2005, with over 2.4 million copies sold that year. To date, Back to Bedlam has sold over 12 million copies worldwide, solidifying James Blunt’s status as an international recording artist.

Since then, James Blunt has established a highly successful career both creatively and commercially, producing a series of acclaimed albums and singles. His subsequent works, including All The Lost Souls (2007), Some Kind of Trouble (2010), Moon Landing (2013), The Afterlove (2017), and Once Upon A Mind (2019), have consistently secured positions within the Top 10 of the ARIA Album Charts.
