Billy Bragg to perform in ‘one-man Clash mode’ for Bridges Not Walls tour this fall

No stranger to mixing politics and performance, Billy Bragg is grabbing his guitar and heading out on tour “in one-man Clash mode” this fall, taking his Bridges Not Walls trek to the U.S., U.K. and Europe for 30 shows this October and November.

The tour finds Bragg “galvanized by ‘events,’ not least the worrying rise of popularism,” and will see the musician performing songs from across his 30-plus-year career as well as “some pertinent covers by his heroes and mentors, and some freshly minted songs about the state of the world.”

The tour hits the U.S. first, with 10 shows between Oct. 1 and 16, then hits the U.K. and Europe — namely Iceland, Belgium and Germany — for another 10 shows from Nov. 3 to 30.
