Music News: Emotional Braggage

Billy Bragg is set to visit the O2 Academy in Oxford as part of his new Bridges Not Walls tour.

He will perform songs from his career which spans more than 30 years, with some pertinent covers by his heroes and mentors and some freshly minted songs about the state of the world.

Fresh from touring the world with Joe Henry and galvanised by ‘events’, not least the worrying rise of popularism, Billy is dealing with it in the best way he knows how, by strapping on his electric guitar and heading out on a new tour. “Music can’t change the world, but it does have the power to bring people together. In such divisive times, it seems a good place to start,” says Billy.

This show is sold out.
