James Blunt finished of his Back to Bedlam 20th Anniversary tour with a packed out night at Dublins 3Arena and not only treated people to the entire Back To Bedlam album but also play a number of hits and more.

Opening with ‘High’ and following that up with You’re Beautiful got all in attendance nicely settled and seated for what was to come.
Once Back To Bedlam was out of the way hits like ‘Carry You Home’ and ‘Monsters got an airing and a couple of covers were thrown in there for good measure ‘Coz I Luv You’ (Slade) ‘OK’ (Robin Schulz) the night was finished out with a two song encore.

Opening act on the night and tour were indie rock act Toploader from Eastbourne, East Sussex who got the crowd nicely warmed up ahead of James taking the stage.
