Acclaimed singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright has announced a run of UK dates this winter, including two nights at London’s Palladium in November.

Rufus releases his eagerly anticipated new pop album UNFOLLOW THE RULES, on BMG on July 10th.

Known for his incredibly engaging live performances, Rufus returns to the UK with a brand new band for the tour: LA musician Brian Green (John Legend, Michael Bublé, Pomplamoose) as music director and guitar; Rachel Eckroth (KT Tunstall, Antelog) on keyboard and backing vocals; Jacob Mann on keyboard, piano and backing vocals; Kyle Crane on drums; and Sam Wilkes on bass and backing vocals.

Playing a set list of classics and new cuts from his highly anticipated new album, the dates are sure to be one of the highlights of the year.

Rufus Wainwright plays the following in the UK this October and November. He will perform at York Barbican on October 27th.
