Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) will continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with European tour dates starting this October.
Following on from the vinyl reissues of their first four studio albums, OMD will open in Portugal before launching a UK and Ireland leg at the Ulster Hall in Belfast on October 23rd. “Electronic music is our language,” Andy McCluskey says. “It’s how we talk.” “We’re at our best when we’re in a room together, working,” Paul Humphreys adds.
“That’s when the sparks and ideas happen. It’s the same now as it ever was.”
