Sparks Announce October UK Tour & Tickets

After yesterday's announcement of a special one-off performance at London's Bush Hall, following a huge rush for tickets Sparks have today confirmed a full UK tour for the Autumn. Tickets for Sparks new dates are onsale this Friday at 9am.

Tickets for the one-off London show sold out within minutes yesterday, leading to a full October tour being announced today. For the first time, Ron and Russell Mael will play an entire concert as a duo using just voice and keyboards, a typically bold and unexpected move from the American brothers. The extraordinary performance will see them de-construct and reinterpret songs from their own extensive and unique catalogue – which stretches back to 1968.

Having inspired musicians and delighted fans throughout the years with their exceptional songwriting and inimitable style, Sparks’ live shows have become increasingly spectacular - in 2008 they performed all 21 albums in 21 nights in London and in 2011 their 22nd opus, 'The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman', was performed as a live musical at the Los Angeles Film Festival.

Now, forty years on from the release of their self-titled debut album in 1972, they will present a selection of Sparks songs in their purest form. Stripping away the often lavish production, fans will rediscover the essence of Sparks - the whipsmart, penetrating lyrics, those incomparable melodies, and of course, Russell's vocals and Ron's keyboards.

Sparks 2012 UK Tour Dates are as follows:

June 13th – Bush Hall, London
Oct 21st – Edinburgh, HMV Picture House - NEW DATE
Oct 22nd - Manchester, HMV Ritz - NEW DATE
Oct 23rd – Birmingham, HMV Institute - NEW DATE
Oct 26th – London, The Barbican - NEW DATE

Sparks Tickets for their new dates are onsale from 9am on Friday 13th March. Click Here to Compare & Buy Sparks Tickets
