Midge Ure Touring USA For First Time In Over A Decade

Midge Ure is heading out on his first U.S. solo tour in over a decade this January. Dates are below. Ure’s last U.S. tour was in 2001 and his last with a full band was in 1985. Right The Stars will perform as Ure’s opening band and back him up during his set.

Ure is most remembered for his work with Ultravox but he was also part of both Visage and Thin Lizzy (how is THAT for contrasting styles?). Some may even recall that Ure was one of the principles behind the Band Aid single and Live Aid concerts.

Ultravox have also released their first record in over 25 years with Brilliant. You can also check out Ure’s biography, If I Was, as an ebook in 2013.

The tour will consist of Ure’s solo work (a new album is in the offing) and likely the odd Ultravox tune.
