Eighties stars Ultravox reform for a UK tour

Ultravox the late Seventies and early Eighties new wave band at the forefront of the British electronic pop music movement are to tour the UK in April 2009 after an absence of 20 years.

The tour, which will feature Ultravox's original 1980's line up of Midge Ure, Chris Cross, Warren Cann and Billy Currie, will perform 14 shows across the UK. Fans can look forward to the band performing material from all their albums, including 'Vienna', 'Rage in Eden', and 'Quartet'.

Singer midge Ure said, "Over the years we have all been caught up with a number of individual projects. When Billy and me were approached by Absolute Radio to perform an acoustic set at their inaugural launch in October at Abbey Road Studios, we took up the offer. We were overwhelmed by the response of our fans, which confirmed within the band that perhaps the time was right to re-form."
