Tiny Magnetic Pets to join Midge Ure on upcoming European tour

The Dublin electronic band will join Midge Ure and Band Electronica for 15 European dates later this year.

Tiny Magnetic Pets have revealed that they are set to join the legendary Midge Ure on his upcoming '1980 Tour' - including dates at Dublin's Olympia Theatre and Belfast's Ulster Hall. The European tour, which kicks off later this year, celebrates Midge's time with Visage and Ultravox, and will see him performing the classic album Vienna in its entirety for the first time since it was made 40 years ago.

It has also been announced that Visage co-founder Rusty Egan will be joining Midge for selected dates across the UK. This is the very first time that Midge and Rusty will take to the stage together to play some ground breaking dance tunes off the first Visage album, many of which have not been played live before. Rusty will also perform a DJ set for the first part of the show.

Rusty has also championed Tiny Magnetic Pets, who will be appearing in Rusty's place at Manchester, Liverpool, Belfast and Dublin, as well as the shows in Europe in 2019.

Midge's tour will continue into 2020 with more dates yet to be announced.
