Gary Numan to perform classic albums in London
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 27 May 2015
Gary Numan will take up residency at The Forum in London in October to perform three of his classic albums in full over three nights. ‘Replicas’, ‘The Pleasure Principle’, and ‘Telekon’ will all be staged live. A retrospective show will then also follow in Manchester.
Announcing the dates, Numan said: “Having spent most of the last two years touring [latest album] ‘Splinter’, and with another hectic touring schedule being planned for the release of the new album next year, 2015 seems an ideal time to revisit the three albums that changed my life”.
He continued: “These three albums are now considered classics and being able to play each one in its entirety, over three nights in London, will be very special for me, and as for the Manchester show, I have some songs planned for that I don’t think I’ve ever played live before. I very rarely look back at past glories but, with these shows, I intend to not only look back, but to celebrate those early days”.
Finally, he said: “Without those songs and experiences I wouldn’t be here today. ‘Splinter’ was widely considered to be one of the best, if not the best album I’ve ever made. With that achievement I’ve finally learned to be proud of my history, and that’s what these shows are all about”.
Here are the dates:
21 Oct: London, The Forum – Replicas
22 Oct: London, The Forum – The Pleasure Principle
23 Oct: London, The Forum – Telekon
24 Oct: Manchester, Academy
