Peter Gabriel announced today that following hugelysuccessful shows last year in Los Angeles and New York, he will take his stunning concert experience to 12 North American cities with the New Blood tour beginning Friday, June 10 in Berkeley, CA.

After receiving astounding critical acclaim for the 2010 shows, Gabriel will perform classics from his deep catalogue including hits from his multiplatinum album "So," which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary, all arranged with his New Blood Orchestra.

The songs will be arranged by long-time Gabriel collaborator John Metcalf and the New Blood Orchestra will be conducted by Ben Foster. The shows precede the highly anticipated album from Peter Gabriel with the New Blood Orchestra later this year, also featuring these classic hits in
reinterpreted orchestral arrangements.

co-founded while still at school. Since leaving Genesis in 1975, his recording career has

‘Rabbit Proof Fence' as well as live and compilation albums. His wider musical career has
included multiple Grammy Awards, the creation of the Real World record label, and the creation
of the now global WOMAD festival.

TheElders.org was launched by Nelson Mandela, which was founded by Peter Gabriel and Sir
Richard Branson. In 2006, Peter Gabriel was awarded the prestigious Man of Peace title by
