Scottish singer announced 'immersive' Glasgow concert
'Almost every album I have made over the last 40-plus years has featured at least one instrumental track. Instrumental music is one of my main loves.
'I realised most of these have never been performed live. So my intention on this tour is to seamlessly insert some of these atmospheric, cinematic instrumentals between a selection of hits and favourite album tracks.'
The tour promises to offer a 'rare and deeply personal concert experience' for fans by bringing together album favourites with 'cinematic instrumentals'.
Speaking about the tour, Ure said he wanted to 'take the audience on a journey rather than just play a list of individual songs'.
'This will be an immersive experience for the audience both visually and sonically,' he said.

Ure's musical career has spanned decades with his early years performing as part of bands such as Irish rockers Thin Lizzy, and new wave groups Visage and Rich Kids before going on to have a successful solo career.
The Ivor Novello winner, who has also been nominated for a Grammy, became an OBE in 2005 for services to music and charity.
The musician went on to celebrate his 70th birthday with a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall in 2023.
The tour will take place in May and June 2026. On top of Glasgow, Ure will perform in places, including Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, London, Reading, and Manchester.

Laufey at Chanel Couture: 'There's a common thread between music and fashion, they change time and often grow in tandem.'
'My life right now is pretty crazy,' Laufey tells Grazia as she hits Paris for the Chanel Haute Couture Autumn/Winter '25 show. Laufey's not wrong. Just a few days ago, the Icelandic musician was making her debut at Glastonbury, joining Noah Kahan on the Pyramid stage for a surprise rendition of Call Your Mom that sent social media into meltdown. Today she's front row at the final Couture show from the studio team before incoming creative director Matthieu Blazy makes his debut for the house this autumn. Laufey attends the Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show. ©Getty 'Glasto and Couture week are such a good embodiment of the two opposites that I have right now - and my real life is somewhere between the two,' she laughs. The musician who's been billed as making jazz relevant for Gen Z found fame on reality TV show Iceland's Got Talent. Two albums and a Grammy award later, Laufey's about to launch her third album A Matter of Time and go on tour across America, supported by fellow friend of Chanel, Suki Waterhouse. Noah Kahan and Laufey at Glastonbury. ©Getty Along the way she's become a fashion favourite and attended her first Chanel show last year. 'Fashion for me as a musician is such an important way of describing who I am visually,' Laufey says of the commonality between the worlds. 'My sound is such a classic sound but with a little bit of a modern twist. It's ultimately very cinematic and so the clothing that I wear it's so important that it embodies that too. It's classic with a fun twist. A little bit playful but theatrical. And I really think my outfit today really captures that.' She cites the Pierrot style collar of her Couture Chanel outfit and the exaggerated sleeves that give the mini dress a girly, romantic feel. 'Any time I get to wear Couture I feel so special because the amount of detail on the clothing is just kind of beyond.' Haute couture might not work for two-month tour, but Laufey puts as much thought into her performing attire as she did today's look. 'Dressing for stage is such a delicate art. I want to feel good. Feeling good makes me perform better so clothing is actually so important,' Laufey reveals of her approach. 'Beyond that I love a skirt that kind of dances. Any kind of tulle always makes me feel like a ballerina. I like flat shoes, because I like to twirl and I like to have the stakes pretty low. I don't want to trip. It's all about feeling good.' Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026. ©Getty If she were to pick out her favourites from the Chanel Couture show though, she says it would have to be the tweed. 'When I think of Chanel, I think of classic, with tweed of course at the top of mind. I loved all the beautiful flowing skirts and the more masculine tweed jackets. It was perfect.' She's not wrong that the show had a romantic feel. Tiered skirts, embellished with lace, fringing and intricate beading, were grounded with floor-dusting coats and flat knee-high boots. Inspired by the Scottish moors and English countryside, the palette was muted: several shades of browns, moss green and heather purple, punctuated by golds that picked up Coco Chanel's famous talisman and now code of the house – a wheatsheaf. Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026. ©Getty 'There's a common thread between music and fashion,' Laufey mused afterwards. 'Just like any other art form they change with history and time and often grow in tandem.' Poetic words for a turning point in Chanel's storied history. Next season the oldest couture house still operating will have a new creative director. But as today's show demonstrated even in new beginnings, when you have a heritage as rich as Chanel, it's always worth looking back. Hattie Brett's first job in journalism was editorial assistant of Grazia – and in 2018, she returned to the brand as editor-in-chief. That means she oversees all the editorial content across print, digital and social. She loves campaigning on issues that really matter to her audience, for example calling on the government to hold an inquiry into the cost and accessibility of childcare.

Johnny Depp offered ‘trust and love' as a director says lead actor of Modigliani
The film, Modigliani – Three Days On The Wing Of Madness, is described as a '72-hour whirlwind' in the life of the bohemian artist, who is played by Italian actor and film producer Riccardo Scamarcio. Speaking on the red carpet of the movie's UK premiere, Scamarcio told the PA news agency: 'It (shooting the film) was incredible because Johnny is … I felt a lot of trust from him and love. 'And this is all you need if you have to play a character of this kind. 'But anyway, if you have to be an actor in a film, from your director you need trust and love, and I felt that very much.' Modigliani was an Italian painter and sculptor during the late half of the 19th century and early 20th century who was known for creating portraits and nudes in a modern style that were seen as controversial for the time period. Scamarcio told PA: 'He was an incredible character. He was an incredible painter, and, (he had) some anarchy, I have to say, and a lot of talent. 'But, you know, he's been recognised too late. What a shame.' The film also stars Adolescence actor Stephen Graham as art dealer Leopold Zborowski, and veteran actor Al Pacino as American collector Maurice Gangnat. Among the stars who attended the UK premiere was Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally, Sons Of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam, and a number of actors from the movie. Last year, Scamarcio presented Depp with a lifetime achievement award at the Rome Film Festival in recognition of his 'extraordinary journey as a performer'. Depp has made a steady return to the spotlight in recent years following the conclusion of a high-profile defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The 62-year-old has starred in a host of films over the years but gained worldwide stardom for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise. Modigliani – Three Days On The Wing of Madness is in cinemas from July 11.
