New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Due to mammoth public demand, our national treasure, Lulu, today announces that she's adding an extra date to her 'Champagne For Lulu' UK tour - confirming that she's coming to Gateshead, The Glasshouse International on Friday 12 April 2024. The tour now comprises of six spectacular live dates in April, kicking-off in her hometown of Glasgow, and touring through Manchester, Southampton, Birmingham, Gateshead; culminating at The London Palladium on 17 April - the most monumental dates in the star's 60-year career.
"Since we announced the tour a few weeks ago, the response has been overwhelming, I'm genuinely blown away by the love you've all shown me!" smiles Lulu, "So, it was clear that I needed to extend the party and add an extra date to the tour… so Gateshead I'm coming to town! I can't wait, come join me, it's gonna be a blast!"
On 17 April 1964, a 15 year-old Lulu stormed into the UK charts with her iconic, 'Shout', a song that would turn the wee girl from Glasgow into a cherished national treasure.
