Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly: The Rock ’N’ Roll Dream Tour will head to arenas in the UK and Ireland this autumn.
The show — which combines holographic performances with a live band and back-up singers, as well as remastered audio — will touch down in Dublin, Belfast, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Hull, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bournemourth, Nottingham, Brighton, Cardiff and London between October 7 and 24.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on March 29.
Roy Orbison, Jr., President of Roy Orbison Music said:
“My father’s music meant the world to not just us Orbison's but to millions of fans worldwide. Being able to reopen his legendary songbook and again hear his voice bounce off great concert hall walls is both a transcendent and cathartic experience. Dad jammed with Buddy in Lubbock Texas and helped change music history by turning Buddy on to Norman Petty Studios; Buddy later returned the favor by recording two of Dad's songs on his first Cricket's album. How beyond cool and special that these two great friends, now get to tour the world together."
Holly's wife, Maria Elena Holly added:
“Buddy and Roy were Texans who shared a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s creative musical genius and brilliant songwriting abilities. I am proud to work with a company like BASE Hologram. Their long-time fans and a new generation of fans will now have the opportunity to see these great legends perform together in a unique setting, showcasing two of the finest, most influential, and beloved artists in music history."
