Since coming into prominence the era-defining hits of “Cars” and “Are ‘Friends’ Electric? (with Tubeway Army),” Gary Numan has remained consistently creative and continues to do so with his new album release. The new album, Intruder, emerges to a wealth of critical acclaim and looks set to make a similar impact to 2017’s Savage (Songs From A Broken World), which entered the UK charts at #2. Along with the new album release, Numan also confirms the details of his first European tour in support of the album, commencing in April of 2022.
Opening with eighteen dates in the UK and Ireland, the tour includes Gary Numan’s first show at The SSE Arena, Wembley since he played three sold-out farewell concerts at the venue back in 1981. His return to the venue also represents the joint largest headline show that he has ever played in the UK – a phenomenal and unusual achievement for an artist whose career spans over 40 years. Numan comments,
“To say I’ve missed touring would be a colossal understatement. It’s the life I chose when I was a teenager so not being able to tour the world has been very difficult. But now things are changing once again and the next UK tour has been announced and I am as excited as I was when all this started for me a lifetime ago. More so in fact. I can’t wait to walk out onto a stage again, to hear the roar of the crowd, the ear-shattering volume of the music, to be bathed in light and soak up that emotion. It’s what I’m here for.”
News of the tour follows the recent announcement of the global streaming live event Intruder: The Worldwide Concert Premiere, which will be hosted by the leading on-demand live performance platform Stabal on June 17th. The show will see Numan and his band perform several songs from Intruder for the first time as well as a selection of songs from his impressive career. Tickets are available here.
