George Michael's Symphonica The Orchestral Tour will include 2 extra dates during the European leg: one in Denmark and another in Italy. George will additionally play The Forum in Copenhagen on Saturday 3rd September and the Mediolanum Forum in Milan on Friday 11 November.

The Symphonica Tour kicks off in in the Czech capital Prague on August 22nd and closes in London on December 19th. The tour includes a staggering 62 dates, across 17 countries and will see this much-loved British singer-songwriter, perform a backed by a full orchestra.

We caught up with George Michael a few weeks ago to talk about the tour. We asked how had he come up with the idea of going on tour with an orchestra?

“It‘s something I always dreamed of doing from a perspective of a singer. …, I am re-arranging a lot of this work specifically for the orchestra, which is going on at the moment. And there are some other elements; too, which I think will be very originally, I am hoping, in terms of the presentation. So creatively, this is going to stretch me not just as a vocalist, but in terms of ideas.“

George already announced via his Twitter profile that some of the tracks he might be performing include 'Cowboys & Angels', 'Kissing a Fool', 'Song to the Siren' and 'Older', but will there be any duets with other artists?

“I should definitely try to have some duets happen during the tour, it would be a waste not to, really. There are some great singers I still haven’t sung with.“

Tickets for this extra Milan show go on sale 28th July. Tickets for George's Copenhagen concert are to go on sale on August 1st.
