As the Britpop revival continues to captivate the nation following Oasis’ successful summer this year, a big star from the 1990s has revealed their most recent tour dates.
Hot on the heels of the electric Oasis UK tour dates, another Britpop legend is preparing for a tour of his own. Fans were left in awe of the spectacle put on by the Gallagher brothers on the big stage, and fans of the era will be chomping at the bit for the latest announcement.
After a spectacular world premiere that closed this summer’s Big Feastival in front of over 20,000 fans, Blur star Alex James is ready to send his Britpop Classical on the road for its first ever UK tour in March next year. In it, he will bring hits of the Britpop era to life alongside a live orchestra.
It will tour the United Kingdom, stopping at the Royal Albert Hall before moving on to cities like Manchester, Brighton, Newcastle, and Glasgow. The show incorporates the best songs from a golden age of British music, which was produced and performed by Blur bassist and Big Feastival founder Alex James.

Special renditions of classic songs from The Verve, Blur, Oasis, and Pulp to Supergrass and The Verve will be performed live by the London Concert Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
Phil Daniels, Saffron of Republica, and Gary Stringer of Reef will join James in doing so. Additional names should also be made public.
James spoke of the occasion, citing the fact that “somehow all of these songs now mean more to people than they did when they first came out. They really appeal to the generation of my children.
“Feastival’s revival with a symphony orchestra, a kick-ass band, some old friends, and some very special guests totally blew the roof off,” said the artist, “I can’t wait to take this show on the road.”
The production was handled by RG Live’s Director of Events Owen Kent, who stated, “The crowd reaction made it immediately obvious we had something special on our hands.”
“Britpop Classical transforms songs that are already in vogue and reinvents them in a powerful and exhilarating way. What we believe will be one of the must-see shows in 2026 is best launched by opening the tour at the Royal Albert Hall.
It follows the huge success of the likes of Oasis this summer, who were joined by Richard Ashcroft. And the Mancunian brothers are now also eyeing up Oscars success with a movie version of their reunion.
Behind-the-scenes footage from their reunion tour will be included in a film that will be made available. The documentary, which is being produced by Magna Studios, includes Noel and Liam’s first encounter with them.
According to reports, the well-known siblings believe they have a chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film and the Baftas equivalent.
