Midge Ure has announced details of a 2024 UK headline tour – you can find all the details below.
The soloist and former Ultravox frontman is due to head out on the road with ‘Catalogue: The Hits’ trek later this year. He’ll play tracks from his extensive career at the forthcoming shows.
“I performed live long before I was ever allowed anywhere near a recording studio and as much as I love spending time writing and recording, live music remains my first love,” Ure said in a statement.
“This ‘Catalogue’ tour will allow me to not only play a wide selection of hits from my past but perform some of the most requested favourites. Revisiting these moments from my musical life is something I am really looking forward to sharing.”
The tour will include a concert at the London Palladium as well as stop-offs in Bournemouth, Oxford, Cardiff, Sheffield, Birmingham, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh and other locations throughout November and December.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT this Friday (March 22) – you’ll be able to buy yours here.
