About the Event

A curated live experience that reimagines Midge Ure's career as one flowing narrative. Celebrating over 40 years of innovation, from glam and punk to synthpop and orchestral textures.

This bold new live concept offers a rare and deeply personal concert experience. For the first time, Midge Ure will seamlessly blend his iconic hits and fan favourites with the atmospheric instrumentals that have long featured on his solo albums — many of which have never been performed live. The result is a rich, immersive show designed to take the audience on an emotional journey, both visually and sonically.

From his early days with Slik and The Rich Kids, to defining the sound of the '80s with Ultravox and co-creating the global charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas?, Midge Ure has always challenged musical expectations. With Ivor Novello, GRAMMY and ASCAP awards to his name, he continues to push boundaries with this ambitious new show.
