Regarded as pioneers of electronic music, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are coming to North America! The post-punk and synth legends announced plans to celebrate their 40th anniversary with an ambitious Souvenir 2022 tour, playing 24 shows throughout the US and Canada in support of the release of their career-spanning Souvenir box set.
OMD hits the road in Orlando on 22 April, making additional stops along the east coast, dipping through the Heartland and wrapping things up 26 May on the west coast in Los Angeles. Canadian fans, you’re in luck: the band will also play Toronto and Vancouver.
Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys will also bestow their graces upon us with a webcast called You, Me & OMD, airing on 19 June.
OMD’s website has more details on the global Livestream, as well as ticket info on the North American tour. All proceeds from the Livestream will be split among members of the band’s touring crew, who have been unemployed since February 2020, because of the pandemic.
