Overview

Electronica-soul heavyweight James Blake finally visits our shores after several years of international acclaim. The singer-songwriter will make his way across the Tasman after playing his part in the Splendour In The Grass festival and he is sure to bless us with his wonderful sounds.

The BBC Sound of 2011 runner-up has continued to go from strength to strength following his self-titled debut album, his prowess demonstrated by his nomination for the Mercury Music Prize, which is no mean feat. His second album, Overthrow has just been released and features the captivating track 'Retrograde'.

The Auckland Town Hall is an ideal venue for the Englishman, with this enchanting space complementary of Blake's mesmerizing, absorbing music.
