Following their amazing 15 date comeback sell out tour of the UK, which included two outstanding shows at Hammersmith Apollo and The Roundhouse in London this year, Ultravox have today announced further UK tour dates in April 2010 on the eve of their first European Tour in 25 years.
Due to phenomenal public demand, Ultravox will venture out on the road again in April 2010, aptly named ‘Return To Eden Part II’, this follows amazing fan reaction, very high critical acclaim and stellar reviews from the media. The band’s line up of Midge Ure, Chris Cross, Warren Cann and Billy Currie, will perform 6 shows across the UK and Europe. Fans can look forward to the band performing material from all their albums, including Vienna, Rage in Eden and Quartet and material not covered in the last tour.
Ultravox were one of one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980’s.
"When we talked about the possibility of getting together to do the 2009 tour it was only ever going to be a one off celebration of our achievements and to mark the fact it was the 30th anniversary of writing Vienna so this was never, ever on our radar. This has simply come about by the desire and phenomenal reaction by the public to see and hear more. We have all agreed to perform a handful of shows in the UK in 2010 to coincide with the release of the live DVD we recorded at the Roundhouse back in April. It just seems like a great way to leave a little addition to our substantial legacy before we all move on. We were always a live performance band and the DVD and demand for the new shows kind of confirms that." states Midge Ure
“Thank You to all the people that have helped to make this a fantastic year, I've had a ball, It was great playing with Ultravox again, and the public response made that even more special, I look forward to the next leg.” – Chris Cross
“I got off on the last tour so much!, It was a fantastic success! And I’m really looking forward to getting going again.” – Billy Currie
