OMD to play Bonus Arena for ‘oxygen of live performance’

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) will visit Hull’s Bonus Arena next year as part of a 15-date UK arena tour.

The band, who sold out a previous visit to the venue in 2019, will perform on November 5, 2021. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday.

The tour will see the band perform songs from their iconic album Architecture & Morality, plus many more hits from their back catalogue.

Singer Andy McCluskey said: “After purgatory without the oxygen of live performance to energise both artist and audience, what joy it is to know we will be able to share these moments again."

OMD recently announced a 40th anniversary limited edition 12-inch coloured vinyl release of legendary anti-war hit single, Enola Gay, which is on sale from November 27.

Tickets are now on sale for an “extremely special” live streamed show from London’s Indigo at The O2 on March 27, 2021, postponed from its original date of October 24 due to coronavirus travelling restrictions, and McCluskey’s ongoing symptoms.

That show is set to raise money and awareness for their crew, whose livelihoods have been badly affected in the wake of the global pandemic.

Tickets bought for the streamed show also give fans a 48-hour window to get VIP access to the best seats in the house for the arena tour.

The arena tickets will be available online via www.bonusarenahull.com or online at Ticketmaster. Telephone sales are unavailable at present. Accessible tickets can also be purchased online.
