A live music experience created by Blur bassist Alex James is set to reimagine some of the biggest songs of the 1990s.
Britpop Classical will come to Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on March 19 as part of its debut UK tour.
The tour, which kicks off at London’s Royal Albert Hall on March 1, blends some of the most iconic '90s anthems with the power of a full orchestra.
It follows the world premiere at Big Feastival, where it closed the event in front of more than 20,000 fans.

Alex James said: “Somehow all of these songs mean more to people now than they did when they were first released.
“They really resonate with my kids' generation, too.
“Bringing them back to life with a symphony orchestra, a kick-ass band, some old friends, and very special guests totally blew the roof off at Feastival, and I absolutely cannot wait to get this show on the road.”
Britpop Classical will feature reimagined versions of songs by Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass and The Verve, performed with a live band, guest vocalists, and the London Concert Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
Special guests will include Phil Daniels, Saffron from Republica, and Gary Stringer of Reef, with more names expected to be announced soon. The tour is produced by RG Live in partnership with Metropolis Music and Cuffe and Taylor.

Owen Kent, director of events at RG Live, said: “The energy at Big Feastival was off the scale – the crowd reaction made it instantly clear we had something special on our hands.
“Britpop Classical takes songs that people already love and reimagines them in a way that's powerful, and totally exhilarating.
“Kicking off the tour at the Royal Albert Hall is the perfect way to launch what we believe will be one of 2026’s must-see shows.”
Tickets for the tour go on general sale Friday, October 31 at 12pm, following artist and O2 Priority pre-sale on Wednesday, October 29 at 9am, and promoter and venue pre-sales on Thursday, October 30 at 9am.
