Ultravox reveal Belfast date on tour

22 January 2009 -

Ultravox, the 80s band featuring Midge Ure, have added a Belfast date to their upcoming reunion tour.

The band have revealed they will play at Belfast's Waterfront location on May 3rd, after announcing their comeback tour late last year.

Music fans wanting to attend this event in Northern Ireland should get tickets this Friday, when they go on sale at 09:00 GMT.

The band will be performing singles from their remastered 80s album as well as their Best Of offering.

It will be their first tour for more than 20 years and the first time they have performed together since Live Aid in 1985.

The four-piece will kick off the tour in Edinburgh, then travel to 14 other cities, including Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, Cardiff and London, before their Belfast date.

Midge Ure has recently been performing a number of solo gigs around the country.

He says of the upcoming Ultravox tour: "Returning to Ireland will seem like a homecoming in more ways than one."
