Gary Numan announces new Belfast tour date

Electronic musician Gary Numan has announced a show at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast on December 3 as part of his Telekon 45th anniversary tour. The gig follows his already announced performance at 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on December 2.

Telekon, featuring heavy use of guitars and synthesiser textures, debuted in 1980 at the top of the UK Albums Charts and was Numan's third consecutive Number 1 album.

The highly-influential album was said to have inspired bands such as Nine Inch Nails.

Numan was the lead singer of the new wave band Tubeway Army, and in 2017 he received the Inspiration Award at the Ivor Novellos. This summer he played at Glastonbury for the first time.

On his upcoming tour, fans can expect to hear Telekon in its entirety, in addition to a variety of other tracks from his career.
