Lou Reed has announced a series of European tour dates on which he'll perform, for the first time, the entirety of his somewhat legendary 1973 album 'Berlin' accompanied by a thirty piece ensemble including his band and a string and horn section, plus the New London Children's Choir. He'll play two London dates at the Hammersmith Apollo on 30 Jun and 1 Jul. And don't go thinking you can see this any old time. This tour's a one off. Oh yes. Listen to Mr Lou Reed, here's what he says about the upcoming tour: "I only do this every thirty years. One time, one time only. You can tell you kids you saw Lou Reed's Berlin."
The tour will also call at Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin (I should think so too), Lyon, Rome, and Arezzo. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am.
