Eighties pop band Culture Club will tour the UK in December 2014, supported by Alison Moyet
Culture Club will tour the UK for the first time in 15 years this December.
Prior to eleven live dates, the Boy George-fronted pop group, who formed in 1981, will record new material in the studio for an album to be released in 2015. It will be produced by Youth, who has worked with Paul McCartney, the Verve and Embrace.
The band was one of the most successful of the Eighties, selling more than 100 million singles and 50 million albums as well as achieving seven straight top-10 hits in the UK. They were also the first band since the Beatles to achieve three top-10 hits in America from a debut album, and to have an album certified diamond in Canada.
Alison Moyet, formerly one half of the band Yazoo, will join Culture Club as a special guest on their tour.
After leaving Yazoo in 1983, Moyet forged a successful solo career. In 2013 she released electro album The Minutes, co-written and produced by Guy Sigsworth, which was a top 5 hit.
The forthcoming tour will kick off on 1 December 2014, at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, before travelling throughout the UK.
