Scion of the musically prolific Wainwright family, Rufus has revealed himself to be perhaps the most musically diverse of them all. His eight studio albums include the landmark Want One, his classic Grammy nominated album Rufus Does Judy was recorded at Carnegie Hall in 2006. He performed that show in the UK at the Palladium in 2007 and later for two nights at the Royal Opera House in 2011. And then there’s his opera Prima Donna which premiered at the Manchester International Festival in 2009.
Rufus Wainwright has now announced ten UK summer shows. Armed with one of modern music’s best back catalogues, an incredible voice and a between song chat to rival anyone, these shows are bound to sell-out fast.
