Brian Eno has announced his first solo tour, nearly 50 years after the release of his first album under his own name.

Actor Peter Serafinowicz will also make a cameo appearance.The whole thing has been commissioned for the Venice Biennale Musica festival and will premiere at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice with two performances on 21 Oct.“The album ’The Ship’ is an unusual piece in that it uses voice but doesn’t particularly rely on the song form”, says Eno. “It’s an atmosphere with occasional characters drifting through it, characters lost in the vague space made by the music.
There’s a sense of wartime in the background and a sense of inevitability.
