Acoustic Mainlines

The orchestral space rockers return to bring their signature hypnotic sound to the stage, stripped back, finding a common ground between minimalism and lush symphonics.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first-ever acoustic performances, Spiritualized presents a rare performance of their acclaimed Acoustic Mainlines project. Featuring songs from across the Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized catalogues, J Spaceman will be accompanied by a string quartet, gospel singers and Spiritualized guitarist Tony Foster. 

Initially conceived around the making of the Songs In A&E album, and after J Spaceman had survived serious illness, the project as J Spaceman recalled: “was a gentle way of getting back on stage... it was small, and it was beautiful. Originally, it was just going to be the two of us, but we ended up getting the strings and the choir and because it worked so well, it led to other things.”
