Beth Orton

Coltish, endearingly potty-mouthed singer-songwriter Beth Orton is responsible for some truly lovely, downbeat pop that calmed the pre-dawn jitters of a generation of '90s clubbers. This will be the first time she's played in Japan for a full 13 years, in belated support of last year's well-received Sugaring Season album. Tickets go on general sale on August 10.
