Performing tracks from his dazzling back catalogue and current smash-hit LP – which marks his debut as both producer and Writer – Rufus will be joined on stage by his dazzling band, which includes a horn section. The tour will also feature special guest Scott Matthews.

Fresh from a series of UK summer festivals, including Oxegen, Eden, T in the Park & Glastonbury, he released his new download single 'Rules & Regulations' on Monday. The second song to be taken from 'Release The Stars', it was written and produced by Rufus.

With Neil Tennant as Executive Producer and mixed by Marius De Vries & Andy Bradfield, it's a dynamic constellation of luscious sounds and vividly original lyrics that are typically, undisputed Rufus Wainwright.

The single 'Rules & Regulations' is out now on Polydor.
