What The World Needs Now: The Burt Bacharach Songbook arrives at De Montfort Hall in Leicester on 12 October 2026, pairing classic Bacharach writing with a support set from Ed Harcourt. Known for alternative rock, indie rock and singer-songwriter work, Harcourt brings material from releases such as "El Magnifico" and ahead-of-album "Orphic" into a setting built around Bacharach’s catalogue. The performance frames Harcourt’s piano and guitar-led songs against orchestrated pop standards, giving this one-off Leicester date a clear split between modern alternative rock songwriting and mid‑century songcraft under The Burt Bacharach Songbook banner.
