Julian Cope Live Music & Concerts


Visionary Singer, Poet, Occultist & Photographer makes a highly welcome return to Glee

He has released over 20 solo albums, countless collaborations, and six acclaimed books, including his autobiography HEAD-ON and KRAUTROCKSAMPLER.

Cope began his career in The Crucial Three, with future Echo & The Bunnymen singer Ian McCulloch, before forming The Teardrop Explodes. In the late ‘80s, he made a return to the charts with the single ‘World Shut Your Mouth’, and attendant album SAINT JULIAN, which followed FRIED. The acclaimed albums PEGGY SUICIDE, JEHOVAHKILL and AUTOGEDDON maintained a rich vein of creativity

He then turned his attentions to making a detailed first-hand study of the occult, mythology and Britain’s prehistory. After eight years of research, these results were published in his best-selling tome THE MODERN ANTIQUARIAN, a full colour 484-page hardback. Cope followed up this extraordinary achievement with a larger sequel entitled THE MEGALITHIC EUROPEAN that covered mainland Europe and its islands.

He has performed live with Sunn O))), also appearing as lead vocalist on their acclaimed album WHITE ONE, and has recorded three albums with his proto-metal power trio Brain Donor. He has also lectured three times at the British Museum. In October 2007, Cope’s JAPROCKSAMPLER was released to critical acclaim, followed by his 800-page rock’n’roll tome COPENDIUM, a vast repository of reviews and essays on mainly contemporary artists.

Cope’s long-awaited debut novel for Faber & Faber – a Sardinian road trip entitled ONE THREE ONE – appeared in 2014, accompanied by several soundtrack albums and a 12” single re-mixed by Andrew Weatherall. (Reviews included: ‘Beckett on a bender’ The Irish Times, “I read it in one sitting’ Stewart Lee, ‘A total skullfuck of a book’ Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream)).

Since then, Cope has been working on a follow-up novel and will be releasing an EP of drinking songs to accompany this forthcoming winter tour.
