The Big Stage

Ultravox @ Plymouth Pavilions

After an absence of 20 years, Plymouth Pavilions are proud to bring Ultravox to the city on Monday 27 April 2009. The tour, featuring original 80s 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.

Ultravox were one of one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980s.
“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” said Midge Ure. “We were overwhelmed by the response of our fans, which confirmed within the band that perhaps the time was right to re-form.”?

Coinciding with the tour, EMI will be releasing a number of re-mastered albums and a much anticipated Greatest Hits album, which will be available as a CD/DVD package in time for the tour.

Marketing Officer at Plymouth Pavilions, Robert Maltby said: “To be chosen as one of only 14 venues in the UK for this historic comeback is something rather special. Ultravox were one of the biggest and most influential bands of the 80s, so I’m sure this will be fantastic news for all those die hard Ultravox fans in the city”.
