Critically-acclaimed musician and songwriter Jamie Cullum has today announced a new UK headline tour for this November - and it's coming to Birmingham.

News of the tour comes after Jamie made his multi-million selling, 2003 album Twentysomething available on vinyl for the very first time last October. The re-issue came exactly 20 years after it was first released (20th October 2003) and still holds the honour of being the fastest selling jazz album in chart history,with its sales in 2003 leading to Jamie being the UK’s highest selling jazz artist in history.

With over 10 million album sales to date and his successful BBC Radio 2 show, Jamie Cullum is globally celebrated, meeting loyal fans wherever he goes. His legendary live shows have seen him work alongside artists as diverse as Herbie Hancock , Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar and Lang Lang, whilst the success of his major label breakthrough, Twentysomething and its follow up Catching Tales saw him nominated for a BRIT, Grammy and numerous other awards around the world. He recently won the Ivor Novello award for best song musically and lyrically for his song “The Age of Anxiety” from his critically acclaimed album Taller.

In addition to his enduringly successful recording career, he has also established himself as a multi-award winning music broadcaster. He approaches all aspects of his career, as he has from the beginning, as both a fan and a student with seemingly boundless creativity and enthusiasm.

Jamie Cullum plays Symphony Hall, Birmingham on Wednesday 13 November. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 22 March here.
