Now this is “Beautiful.”
James Blunt just announced he’s embarking on a 2025 North American ‘Back To Bedlam Tour’ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his seminal No. 1 album.
Along the way, the British singer-songwriter is slated to perform at New York City’s Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage on Tuesday, June 17.
At all shows, he’ll perform the 20-year-old record — which was actually released on Oct. 11, 2004 for those keeping score at home — plus “all the classic hits” according to the Instagram tour announcement.
There is a wrinkle, though; it’s certainly possible you might not be seeing James Blunt in concert next summer.
The cheeky crooner recently shared “if the 20th Anniversary Edition of my album ‘Back To Bedlam’ re-enters the charts at number 1, I will legally change my name – to whatever you guys decide.”
If you want to see Blunt (or whoever he might become should the record rocket to the top of the charts), tickets are available for all of his 2025 U.S. and Canada concerts as soon as today.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming ‘Back To Bedlam” shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Oct. 11.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
James Blunt 2025 tour schedule

“Back To Bedlam”
Blunt’s debut record is so much more than its breakout single “You’re Beautiful.”
The ten-track album also features the impassioned piano ballad “Goodbye My Lover,” chills-inducing “Cry” and bombastic “Out Of My Mind.”
Don’t sleep on the folksy “So Long, Jimmy,” either. It sounds like a cross between Dexy’s Midnight Runners, UB40 and Violent Femmes with a bit of blues thrown in for good measure.
Been forever since you’ve given Blunt’s first effort a spin?
