James Blunt – Once Upon a Mind Tour: CANCELLED

Multi-platinum British singer and songwriter James Blunt is making his highly anticipated return to Australia next year November in support of his critically acclaimed 6th album, 'Once Upon a Mind'. He will be performing a pair of headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney with Grammy Award-winning pop craftsman Jason Mraz in tow. While in Australia, Blunt and Mraz will also appear nationally at 'A Day On The Green' outdoor concerts.

It's been 15 years since fans first fell in love with the charming Blunt via his blockbuster 2004 debut album 'Back To Bedlam', and the global sensation 'You're Beautiful'. With more than 67 million streams in Australia to date and 23 million albums sold worldwide, not to mention five Grammy Award nominations, two BRIT Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and more, Blunt recently returned with his latest, deeply personal 2019 album, 'Once Upon a Mind'.

Fans will instantly recognise Blunt in the video for 'Cold' which was filmed in the Welsh countryside and with the singer donning familiar wet trousers. A circular nod to 'You're Beautiful', 'Cold' reflects where Blunt has come from—and where he's now going. "I'm back where I started," says Blunt in 2019 of his new material. "Writing songs for me and the people around me. And I'm free again."

"'Once Upon a Mind' is by far James’ most personal and raw (album) since his debut." - Sun

"If 'Back To Bedlam' was his songs of innocence then 'Once Upon a Mind' is his songs of experience." - Mail On Sunday

At all AU dates, Blunt will be joined by a special guest Jason Mraz, who returns to Australia for the first time in 6 years. The pair have been occasional touring partners over the years, sharing stages in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland since 2005.

With over seven million albums sold for his soulful folk-pop sound (the record-breaking 'I'm Yours', 'I Won't Give Up', 'Love Is Still The Answer', 'The Remedy (I Won't Worry)', San Diego's Jason Mraz is a two-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter and Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree.

Mraz sits on the board of the ASCAP Foundation and also runs the Jason Mraz Foundation, which advocates for inclusive arts education and the advancement of equality, donating over US$1 million so far to non-profits. He's also at the helm of Mraz Family Farms, established in 2015 and committed to peace via organic regenerative agriculture and fair trade, farming coffee beans and avocados.
