A post shared by George Ezra (@george_ezra)

Ezra has gradually snuck up on everybody as one of Britain’s most reliable and successful international exports of the last decade. With three UK number 1 albums now under his belt, he’s never skipped a beat, with every full length album he’s released grabbing the top spot. His song “Shotgun” from previous album Staying At Tamara’s hardly needs any introduction either, being George’s first No.1 single in the UK, it also went to No.1 in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, cementing the singer-songwriter’s star power across the world.

His latest album Gold Rush Kid has not given up on this ambition either. Rather than going for something a little different or leaning into more introspective inspiration for his third album, the pop tycoon kept the recipe familiar, attending to the classic reasoning of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” and writing another boppy pop record built for summer bbq’s and kids playgrounds. What kind of playground has a PA system? I don’t know, but if there is one, it’s playing George Ezra’s “Green Green Grass“.

Wherever you stand on George’s tunes, one has to admit that he has a knack for effusive melodies that stick in your ears for weeks. Its no wonder then that this time honoured method has paid off with the kind of shows he gets to put on these days. Last night he sold 45 thousand tickets for his largest headline show to date at Finsbury Park, with big acts in their own rights supporting him like London’s International Gospel Choir, Mychelle, The Big Moon, Holly Humberstone, Mimi Webb, and Blossoms, it made for an event that was basically a music festival. It was such a massive show, that the arena dates he’s just added to his UK tour will look slim in comparison, of course they are not, but it will be interesting to see how much bigger this whole thing can get. Gig on the moon anyone?

“As you can see, I’m pretty under the weather right now with chickenpox so I’m sorry to say that I’m going to need to move my upcoming shows.” Ezra explains, adding, “As we’ve had to change the venue in Edinburgh all tickets will be refunded. However, if you had tickets to the original date then you will have first access to tickets for the new show at Usher Hall and will receive an email over the course of the week including a presale link.” And finally concluding, “All tickets for London and Manchester are valid for the new dates. I hope you’ll be able to join me for the new dates! I can’t wait to be back on stage.”

In the video, Ezra elaborates that he hasn’t performed since 2019, so was “much looking forward to getting back up there and swinging [his] hips”. But aside from all of the disappointment, he now says that “Even more than ever, [he] now cannot wait to see you”. With the shows only being pushed back another month and a half, fans of Ezra will be hotly anticipating his return.

While we have been made to wait for his triumphant return to the stage a little while longer, those of you that may have tickets to his headline show at London’s Finsbury Park can still sit tight in the knowledge July 17^th is slowly getting closer. With additional support from indie legends Blossoms, and singer-songwriter-newcomer Holly Humberstone, the show is guaranteed to fulfil pretty much anyone’s quota for summer vibes. Additional ticket information can be found here.

Until we get there though you’ll have to make do with Ezra’s latest offering to quell any needs you may have. Released last month, ‘Anyone For You’ stands toe to toe with any of Ezra’s other bangers and (obviously) comes with the promise of new tunes to come on June 10^th. You can look into pre-ordering Gold Rush Kid here, and listen to the new single below.
