Suzanne Vega to play O2 Academy Bournemouth

Suzanne Vega, one of music’s most distinctive singers and storytellers, comes to O2 Academy Bournemouth on Tuesday 13th July. Suzanne heads out on a European tour this summer, but has added extra dates at O2 Academy venues in Bournemouth and Oxford. The show at O2 Academy Bournemouth will be the first to feature the venue’s alternative configuration as a fully-seated theatre with brand new, stand-alone upholstered seats.

In 1985, singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega released her stunning self-titled debut album. 25 years and seven million albums sold later, Suzanne is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation. Suzanne is now reinterpreting a majority of her catalogue in an intimate and personal manner, creating four new thematic albums that will be released over the next two years. The first is ‘Suzanne Vega Close-Up, Vol 1, Love Songs’, which will include stripped-down versions of her influential hit song ‘Marlene On the Wall’, the bossa nova favourite ‘Caramel’ and many more. This highly-anticipated new release will reflect on the singer’s early years, with the re-working of classic tracks making the material a riveting listening experience for both fans old and new.
