Billy Bragg will head out on a UK tour this November, taking with him a showcase of ‘young artists who are mixing pop and politics.’
Dubbed the Left Field In Motion Tour, he’ll take with him The King Blues, Akala and The Sound of Rum.
Bragg comments: “Music helped me to make connections when I was growing up – between the situation I found myself in and the powerful people who put me there. Artists need to start engaging in this debate again and The King Blues, Akala and Sound of Rum are inspiring examples of those prepared to push against the power.”
