The world’s foremost classical crossover group, Il Divo, have announced a massive world tour for 2012, set to travel across 6 continents, and stop off in Glasgow for one night in April 2012.
The first leg of the Il Divo tour will see this phenomenal quartet, comprising Carlos Marin, Sebastien Izambard, David Miller and Urs Buhler, perform at leading venues across Europe and the UK, closing with their first ever live shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London on April 17th & 18th.
Their most recent ‘An Evening With Il Divo’ tour which spanned most of 2009, saw sold out shows across 130 cities and the group received Billboard’s Breakthrough Award for one of the biggest grossing tours of the year.
With a new show designed by Creative Director Brian Burke (Artistic Director of ‘La Reve’ & Celine Dion’s 5 year run of ‘A New Day’ at Caesars Palace, both in Las Vegas), and performed with the Il Divo band and famed orchestras across each city, the 2012 tour promises to incorporate a stunning visual and musical mix of fan favourites as well as premiering songs from their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Wicked Game’.
In the UK & Europe, November 28th will see Il Divo return with their 5th studio album ‘Wicked Game’ including a dramatic reworking of the Chris Isaak classic ‘Wicked Game’, an emotionally beautiful rendering of Roy Orbison’s ‘Crying’ and a heavenly song inspired by Samuel Barber’s ‘Adagio for Strings’ called ‘Dove L’Amore’.
Recently named Artist of the Decade at the Classic BRITS. Il Divo are the most successful international musical break-out story of this millennium, selling more than 25 million albums and singlehandedly inventing the classical crossover genre. Their ground-breaking success has brought and pioneered an entirely new sound to vocal music and the group have over 150 gold and platinum awards in 33 countries. Their first four albums, ‘Il Divo’, ‘Ancora’, ‘Siempre’ and ‘The Promise’ have achieved 50 no. 1 album chart positions internationally.
Il Divo’s upcoming album, ‘Wicked Game’ is a very exciting new chapter, and the group look forward to doing what they love best, by taking it on the road to the world.
