Midge Ure brings his 'A Man of Two Worlds' tour to Vaillant Live, blending his classic hits with cinematic instrumentals across more than 40 years of music.
Midge Ure brings his new tour, A Man of Two Worlds, to Vaillant Live on Saturday 21 November. It's a bold one, blending his classic hits with cinematic instrumentals, and the whole thing is framed as an emotionally resonant journey through more than 40 years of innovation across glam, punk, synthpop and orchestral textures. He's reimagining his career as a single musical narrative, so you'll hear the familiar songs alongside the more atmospheric, cinematic pieces.
If the name rings a bell but you're not sure where to place him, he's one of the figures who shaped the sound of the 1980s, most notably with Ultravox. He also co-wrote 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', the Band Aid single that became a global phenomenon. This tour pulls from that long stretch of work, moving from the synth-heavy pop of the eighties back through his earlier days in glam and punk, and then out into the orchestral textures that give the cinematic side of the show its name. It's less a greatest hits set and more a look at the different worlds he's worked in over four decades.
