Starsailor with Strings

Starsailor will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their critically-acclaimed, multi-platinum debut album Love is Here with a special tour featuring a string ensemble arranged and conducted by Joe Duddell. The album will be played in full during the six-date Starsailor with Strings: Love is Here 25th Anniversary UK Tour, beginning at the historic London Palladium on Friday 2 October 2026, which marks the band's latest collaboration with Duddell.  Earlier this year, Starsailor marked their 25th Anniversary by playing two special shows with Duddell and the Up North Session Orchestra at Liverpool's Tung Auditorium, which resulted in the release of the Starsailor with Strings: Live from Liverpool album via East West / Parlophone in October. Duddell's other credits include New Order, Elbow, James, and Richard Hawley.
