It’s been over 35 years since her first album Horses was released, yet we’re still in love with iconic singer-songwriter Patti Smith as ever. At 65, Smith is still widely regarded as a cultural icon but also the poster girl for androgynous chic that so many have tried to emulate.

4th Newcastle O2 Academy
5th Glasgow O2 ABC
7th Manchester Academy
9th Leeds O2 Academy
