EAGLES AT THE SPHERE

If you were wondering who the next musical act would be to play Las Vegas’ eye-popping technical marvel, Sphere, take it easy. It’s the Eagles.

MIDGE URE

Former Ultravox and Visage member Midge Ure has added more dates to his North American tour that kicks off August 7 at Daryl’s House in Pawling, NY and now wraps up September 13 in Ft Lauderdale. The NYC show happens August 11 at City Winery. Midge describes his “Band in a Box” tour like this: “Lots of people asking me to clarify what ‘Band in a Box’ actually is. It consists of myself on electric guitar, synthesiser and vocals alongside my long time keyboard player Charlie Round-Turner playing live with various loops, samples and programmed drums. A band in a box! This format allows me to perform a full band performance with a ’stripped down’ duo. I will be playing a range of material from my long and varied career. From early Ultravox and Visage to recent solo material. Who knew two people could make so much noise?”
