[dropcap]Following[/dropcap] extensive touring in support of his album ‘Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)’, Gary Numan has announced a three night residency at The Forum, London to celebrate his three classic albums ‘Replicas’, ‘The Pleasure Principle’ and ‘Telekon’ on the 21st, 22nd & 23rd of October.
“Having spent most of the last two years touring 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.
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. 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.”
NIGHT 1 – 21 October – Replicas
NIGHT 2 – 22 October – The Pleasure Principle
NIGHT 3 – 23 October – Telekon
Tickets go on sale Friday 22nd May from 9am.
Tickets available via The Forum
