Bill Murray announces live UK performances

The actor has announced two live shows in the UK this June.

He’ll be performing at Southbank Centre’s Royal Hall (4 June) and Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre (18 June).

The show, entitled Bill Murray, Jan Vogler & Friends: New Worlds, will see the actor team up with cellist Jan Vogler, violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez for performances based on American music and literature. On the collaboration, Murray said, “I am bathing in this experience, really. I can’t get enough of it.”

Last year, Murray collaborated with Vogler on the album New Worlds. In the remit of film, Murray is featured on the voice cast of Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs, a stop-motion film that tells the story of a boy searching for his missing dog in Japan. The film is scheduled for a UK release on 30 March.

Tickets for Murray’s live shows go on sale on 29 March, at 10am (GMT).
