Alex James' Britpop Classical at the O2 Apollo, Manchester

Alex James' Britpop Classical

After a spectacular world premiere that closed 2025's Big Feastival in front of over 20,000 fans, Alex James’ Britpop Classical will hit the road for its first ever UK tour, bringing the biggest hits of the Britpop era to life with the epic scale of a full live orchestra.

Created and performed by Blur bassist and Big Feastival founder Alex James, the show takes the best songs from a golden age of British music: classic tunes from Blur, Oasis and Pulp to Supergrass and The Verve and performs them in a powerful symphonic format with a live band, and guest vocalists alongside the London Concert Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

Joining James on stage will be an all-star guest line-up including Phil Daniels, Saffron of Republica, and Gary Stringer of Reef, with more names to be announced soon.

A celebration of one of British music’s most beloved eras, Britpop Classical transforms familiar anthems into something fresh, ambitious and emotionally resonant – an unforgettable night for both original fans and new generations alike.
