Alex James’ Britpop Classical is a reimagining of Britain’s 1990s musical legacy, led by Blur bassist and songwriter Alex James. Drawing on the enduring cultural weight of Britpop, the project reframes the era’s defining anthems through orchestral arrangements that add scale, texture and emotional depth. Performed with a full orchestra, live band and vocalists, the show brings together the raw immediacy of rock music with the sweep of classical performance. Special guest appearances from Phil Daniels, Saffron of Republica and Reef’s Gary Stringer further anchor the production in the voices that shaped the decade. Rather than leaning on nostalgia alone, Britpop Classical treats its source material with seriousness and craft, allowing familiar songs to breathe in a new setting. Tracks associated with Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Supergrass are transformed into expansive, cinematic statements without losing their melodic punch or social bite. James, long recognised as both musician and cultural commentator, curates the evening with a clear sense of narrative, tracing how Britpop reflected a changing Britain. The result is a concert that feels both celebratory and reflective, inviting audiences to hear well-worn classics afresh. Britpop Classical stands as a considered tribute to an era whose influence continues to shape British music and identity.
