Spiritualized will perform their classic album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space live in its entirety at the Royal Festival Hall, London on Monday 12th October 2009.
Tickets cost £27.50 / £32.50 + bf and go on sale this Thursday 19th March from 10am.
They will be available via phone on 0871 663 2500 or online at www.southbankcentre.co.uk, www.seetickets.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
This very special show will feature a choir, string and horn sections and special guests. It is 12 years since the release of this album set the summer of 1997 on fire. Receiving massive critical acclaim, it was hailed as an instant classic, winning NME’s album of the year in 1997 (beating Radiohead’s OK Computer), and reaching No.4 in the UK charts.
To tie in with the live performance, Sony Music will be releasing an expanded Legacy Edition of “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space” in October with added content and new packaging.
