Melanie C\u00a0has today announced details of a UK and European headline tour for spring 2021. Sporty has also confirmed plans for four global live-streams to coincide with the release of her hugely anticipated self-titled album on October 2nd<\/sup> (with a full-band set and plenty of surprises to be revealed). Pre-sale to the 2021 headline shows begins on August 26th<\/sup> at 9AM BST, with general sale on August 28th via Gigs And Tours<\/a>: tickets for the live streams are also available via her official website, https:\/\/melaniec.net\/<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u2018Melanie C\u2019 was launched in spectacular style recently with latest single \u2018In And Out Of Love\u2019 (and its socially distanced video shot up at London\u2019s Alexandra Palace). The album also includes empowering recent single ‘Blame It On Me’ \u2013 which went top 20 on UK airplay – and the album’s defiantly reflective first single, ‘Who I Am’ (which also went number 1 on iTunes worldwide).\u00a0Having appeared on the likes of ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden’ to BBC 1’s ‘The One Show’,\u00a0Melanie has also brought fans around the world together under Covid: whether leading Q&As on physical and mental wellbeing, the next generation of Girl Power (see an interview with Rina Sawayama for Crack Magazine), the realities of life in lockdown (she recently spoke to Daisy May Ridley for the ‘Happy Place’ festival) or putting together a specialist DJ mix for i-D Magazine.<\/p>\n

Channelling\u00a0a life-long love of disco, electronic music and anthemic pop, Melanie C\u2019s new album is a journey of introspection, growth and acceptance. It\u2019s a point reflected in her choice of collaborators on the project, which range from Nadia Rose and Shura to remixes from the likes of Joe Goddard (as well as reuniting with longtime collaborator Richard “Biff” Stanndard”). An artist who\u2019s at home presenting her friend Billie Eilish with a BRIT Award as she is lending her\u00a0vital voice to the modern discourse on depression, body positivity, and the LGBTQ community, Melanie C’s trailblazing influence has never been more apparent.\u00a0With over 100 million records sold and multiple BRIT, Ivor, Billboard and Olivier Awards under her belt, this nonetheless feels like new, more assured ground for Melanie C – and a glorious new chapter for Girl Power.<\/p>\n
