Rufus Wainwright Plans To Tour U.K.

Rufus Wainwright

This spring, it seems like piano troubador (and Zach Galifianakis favourite) Rufus Wainwright can't get enough of the United Kingdom.

Wainwright has announced an April tour of the U.K., where he'll play songs from his upcoming album, All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu.

He's reportedly putting the finishing touches on the disc, which will tentatively be out this spring.

If that wasn't enough, he'll also bring his opera, Prima Donna, to London's Sadler Wells Theatre around the same time of the tour. It will be staged April 12, 14, 16 and 17.

The opera debuted in July at the Manchester International Festival, a performing arts, music and visual arts event.

Wainwright will spend February playing gigs throughout Australia and New Zealand.
