It's time to go back to the electronic roots
Time to lay down the acoustic setup and reunite with the synthesisers and electric guitars.

After two very successful tours with the boys from India Electric Company, the time is right for a change in direction.

"I want to revisit some material that I've not really been able to perform with the recent acoustic line up, so you can expect to hear songs that haven't been aired for a while as well as the classics and a couple of surprises! I've really enjoyed touring with a band and now I want to expand back to a four piece and return to a more electronic based format"
 
The tour will start in Germany in September, before moving on to the UK hopefully afterwards.
 
Dates confirmed so far are:
 
27 September Frankfurt - Batschkapp
28 September Munich - Technikum
29 September Cologne - Kantine 
1 October Bochum - Zeche 
3 October Hamburg - Grünspan 
4 October Berlin Columbia Theatre
 
Tickets go on sale tomorrow via https://lb-events.de/de/veranstaltungen/midgeure.html
 
Many thanks to Tanya Raftery for the tour image!

New Zealand Press Release

Midge Ure and band confirm 7 NZ shows for career-spanning tour

Plus1 proudly presents UK legend Midge Ure performing seven shows around New Zealand in March 2017 as part of his retrospective Something From Everything Tour – covering 40 years of his influential music.

The former Ultravox frontman will be accompanied by the India Electric Company – multi-instrumentalists Cole Stacey and Joseph O’Keefe – with Ure and co performing at least one song from each album.

Midge Ure’s Something From Everything Tour features concerts in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Nelson, Queenstown, Christchurch and Dunedin.

The setlist stretches right back to 1977 with punk supergroup the Rich Kids, through to Visage (Fade to Grey), and the many hits of Ultravox – gems like Vienna, Dancing With Tears In My Eyes, Reap The Wild Wind and many more. Plus key songs from his acclaimed solo albums like The Gift (with the infectious ‘If I Was’), Pure, and Answers to Nothing.

Ure says the three-piece approach is a lot of fun and adds colour, texture and depth to each song’s essential elements – a distinctly different approach to his solo tour here in April 2015.

“We’ve played some wonderful shows around Europe and the United States, and I can’t wait to bring the band Downunder for our Kiwi friends.”

Complete dates and ticketing details are:

Tickets are on sale nationwide from 9am Thursday 13 October.

My Ticketmaster members can purchase presale tickets to the Auckland show from 3pm Tuesday 11 October until midnight 12 October.

In addition, a limited number of VIP packages for each show are available direct from the MidgeUre.com shop.

See plus1.co.nz and midgeure.com for more tour details.
