Along the way, he’ll play multiple dates in cities including Nottingham, Bath, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, Oxford, Leeds, Aberdeen, Dublin, Birmingham, York and Brighton, with further stops in Edinburgh, Sheffield, Belfast, Cardiff and Swansea, before closing on 28th November.
