An icon of stage and screen, immortalised for his ability to truly connect with language worked with, Welsh legend Richard Burton – born on the 10th November 1925 would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. Set to follow in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier, Burton’s tumultuous path would become synonymous with his body of work, to a point overshadowing it – his high profile marriages to Elizabeth Taylor and his battle with addiction elements of fame contended with. Embodying a resonance made for the stage, wrestling with the rich and complex nature of Shakespeare’s verse – Burton very quickly marked himself apart from the rest as a true master of performance.

Prior to his much documented career in Entertainment, he served as Aircraftman in the RAF for 3 years. A student of Exeter College, University of Cambridge, he studied English – this is where he’d also develop his love for the stage, starring in various productions hosted by the Oxford University Dramatic Society. In celebration of Burton’s centenary, the Centenary Projects Poets Squad will start off a double-billed evening at the Ye Olde Rose and Crown pub theatre on Saturday 8th November reciting poems which currently form part of an anthology titled Poems for Rich, published by SJH Media UK, available to purchase here.

Following the birthday release of his new album CAOS on October 23, Grammy Award-winning artist and visionary Miguel has announced he will embark on a tour next year across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom.

Promoted by Live Nation, the 41-date CAOS Tour with special guest Jean Dawson kicks off February 10 at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, making stops in major cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping the North American leg March 21 at Houston’s 713 Music Hall. The tour then heads overseas for a spring run across the UK and Europe, with performances in London, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Madrid, and more. The tour includes a special Los Angeles hometown performance at the Kia Forum with support from Channel Tres. Full routing and ticketing information can be found below.

With a career defined by innovation and soul, Miguel continues to captivate audiences around the world. Since winning the GRAMMY Award for Best R&B Song with his chart-topping hit “Adorn” in 2013, he’s remained one of the most forward-thinking and genre-defying artists. From the triple-platinum rise of “Sure Thing” to its viral rebirth more than a decade later, Miguel’s music has continued to transcend generations. Both Wildheart (2015) and War & Leisure (2017) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Albums Chart, proving that influence isn’t measured in years but in impact. With CAOS, Miguel compels a redefinition of his own legacy, setting a new precedent for how radical, cross-genre, and cross-cultural an artist’s evolution can be. Now, he’s bringing that same magnetic energy to the CAOS Tour, delivering a show that bridges eras and showcases his evolution as a performer and creator.
