Popstar to Opera House as Joe goes back on tour

Former X Factor and Popstar to Operastar winner Joe McElderry will be performing at Blackpool Opera House, on the opening night of his upcoming UK tour.

He will also be joined on stage by fellow X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels and Any Dream Will Do runners up Keith Jack and Ben James-Ellis, who have all gone on to appear in Bill Kenwright’s production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Joe, himself has recently been playing the lead role in the UK tour, with the soundtrack hitting the number one spot on the Amazon Musicals chart.

The album, which is set to be released in July, is available to pre-order from iTunes and the lead single ‘Gloria’ - from which the tour takes its name - is out now, with a special limited edition CD available to buy from Amazon.
