One of Britain’s most acclaimed and distinctive singer-songwriters Emeli Sandé has announced a monumental UK & EU tour to celebrate 15 years of her landmark debut album ‘Our Version of Events’.
Performing 24-dates across the UK & EU including iconic venues like London’s Palladium and Paris’ Salle Pleyel, Emeli will be performing her celebrated x8 time platinum album in full alongside her greatest hits.
‘Our Version of Events’ was the biggest selling album in the UK of 2012 and 2013, selling more than five million copies worldwide. It features much-loved hits including “Next to Me,” “Read All About It (Pt. III)” and “Clown.” Celebrated for its emotional depth and exceptional songwriting, it won British Album of the Year at the 2013 BRIT Awards, while “Next to Me” received two Ivor Novello Awards. The record spent an extraordinary 66 consecutive weeks in the UK Official Albums Chart Top 10, setting a record for the longest unbroken Top 10 run by a debut album, surpassing the 62-week run of The Beatles’ Please, Please Me.
Throughout Emeli’s remarkable career, she has sold millions of albums worldwide, earned four BRIT Awards, established herself as a highly sought after songwriter having collaborated with the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys; and received an MBE for her services to music. The power of her live presence has brought her all around the world, from headline tours and major festivals to some of the most significant cultural events in the UK, performing at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games, which remain career-defining moments for her.
2026 sees Sandé continuing to make her mark on the live stage with performances all over the globe, including a performance at BBC Radio 2 in the Park, alongside Chaka Khan, Lulu and The Script.
As part of National Album Day’s “Icons” theme, Sandé will also release a special gold vinyl edition of Our Version of Events which will come out on 17 October 2026, celebrating its lasting cultural impact. Vinyl pre-order for the UK here: https://emelisande.tmstor.es/
