Joanna Newsom to Tour UK With Orchestra

Joanna Newsom to Tour UK With Orchestra

After conquering North America with a small fleet, Joanna Newsom will take on a full-blown army. When she hits the UK early next year, she will be joined by the Northern Sinfonia and the London Symphony Orchestra. As of right now, only four lucky British cities will get the orchestral treatment; we can only hope more will be added.

As previously reported, Newsom will continue to knock off a landslide of North American dates (including a free gig at the Madison Pop Festival), many alongside boytoy Bill Callahan, before the holiday season arrives.
