Ultravox announce UK tour plans

The band are best known for hits such as Vienna and All Stood Still

1980s Electro pop band Ultravox are to reform for a UK tour next year, it has been announced.

Warren Cann, Chris Cross, Billy Currie and singer Midge Ure will play 14 dates, including Plymouth, London and Glasgow, starting in April.

It is the first time the band's 1980s line-up will have performed together since Live Aid in 1985.

Ultravox enjoyed their biggest success under the leadership of Ure, who replaced frontman John Foxx in 1979.

Ure's first album with the group, Vienna, spawned two top 10 UK with the title track and All Stood Still.

The band achieved US acclaim with 1982's Quartet, produced by George Martin.

They went on to have a run of success with hits including Love's Great Adventure and Dancing With Tears in My Eyes.

Cann left Ultravox in 1986 and the band split two years later, although it reformed without Ure in 1992.
