Touring New Zealand for the first time since 2020, Scottish-born Midge Ure has been fearlessly innovative over the years – with his classic songs like Fade to Grey (Visage) Vienna, Hymn, and Dancing With Tears in My Eyes (Ultravox), and solo gems like If I Was, and Breathe.
Ure has been featured in various significant moments in music history. His work co-writing and producing ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ for Band Aid, and subsequent role in Live Aid, enshrined him alongside Bob Geldof as one of the most important figures in British music.
Ure has been a firm favourite with New Zealand audiences, dating back to his first show here with electro-pop legends Ultravox at Sweetwaters festival in 1982. Subsequent solo tours in 2015, 2017 and 2020 resulted in sold out shows and acclaimed reviews.
I performed live long before I was ever allowed anywhere near a recording studio and as much as I love spending time writing and recording, live music remains my first love. This ‘Catalogue’ tour will allow me to not only play a wide selection of hits from my past but perform some of the most requested favourites. Revisiting these moments from my musical life is something I am really looking forward to sharing.
