Ultravox Reuniting For 2009 Tour
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
U.K. pop/rock outfit Ultravox’s 1980s lineup will reunite for a 2009 tour, marking this version of the band’s first performance since Live Aid in 1985.
Drummer Warren Cann, bassist Chris Cross, violinist/keyboardist Billy Currie and guitarist/vocalist Midge Ure will play 14 dates beginning April 10 in Edinburgh. For now, the itinerary is limited to the United Kingdom.
Ultravox enjoyed its biggest success under the leadership of Urie, who replaced original frontman Dennis Leigh (aka John Foxx) in 1979. His first album with the group, “Vienna,” spawned top 10 U.K. hits in the form of the title track and “All Stood Still.”
The band achieved U.S. acclaim with 1982’s “Quartet,” produced by George Martin, starting a run of success that included later hits such as “Love’s Great Adventure” and “Dancing With Tears in My Eyes.”
Cann left Ultravox in 1986 and the band split two years later, although it reformed without Ure in 1992.
Here are Ultravox’s U.K. tour dates:
April 10: Edinburgh (Playhouse)

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere
But Honey Pie, you’re not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there’s Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
Provincial towns you jog ‘round
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ
