About Badly Drawn Boy performing ‘The Hour of the Bewilderbeast’
Badly Drawn Boy, the stage name of English singer-songwriter Damon Gough, is commemorating the 25th anniversary of his debut album, The Hour of Bewilderbeast, with a UK tour in 2025.
Originally released on 26 June 2000, the album received critical acclaim and won the prestigious Mercury Prize that year. The album’s cover art, designed by Andy Votel, is a collage loosely based on Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.
The Hour of Bewilderbeast is celebrated for its intricate melodies and heartfelt lyrics, drawing comparisons to artists like Nick Drake and John Lennon.
To mark this milestone, Badly Drawn Boy has announced a series of performances where he will play the entire album. These concerts will offer fans the opportunity to experience the album live, celebrating its enduring influence in the indie music scene.

About O2 Academy Oxford
The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.
Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.
