ONE of Britain's most prominent singer-songwriters is on his way to Somerset this summer.

Following on from the announcement of his much-anticipated second album, Life By Misadventure, Rag'n'Bone Man is to perform at Bath Racecourse on Saturday, July 31, 2021.

The blues singer made an award-winning breakthrough in 2017 with Human, a four-times platinum album which shot to number one on its week of release in the UK, became the fastest-selling album by a male artist for the entire decade, and earned him BRIT and Ivor Novello awards.

The new single from the album - Anywhere Away From Here (featuring P!nk) - is due for release on May 7, 2021.

Pre-sales for the Bath Racecourse show will be available from this Wednesday (April 28), before going on general sale from Friday (April 30), from ticketmaster and ticketweb.
