Friday 7th June 2013
The Assembly, Leamington Spa’s stunning 1000 capacity Art Deco venue will host a rare one-off gig by the legendary Gary Numan on Friday 7th June.
Needing no introduction, synth-pop pioneer Gary Numan has been an active force in the British music scene for over 35 years. Still as relevant as ever, Numan has been cited as an influence by artists as diverse as Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Matthew Dear, Nine Inch Nails, Prince, and Battles, with whom he co-released the single My Machines on Warp Records in 2011.
Gary Numan’s forthcoming album Splinter, slated for release on October 14th, utilizes new sounds and ideas, revealing his status as a true iconoclast and tireless innovator. In a live setting, Numan’s progressive recordings become even more anthemic and allow audiences to experience first-hand his widespread influence over modern pop music.
This one-off headline gig is an exclusive chance for fans and newcomers alike to hear all the classics including Are Friends Electric?, I Die You Die and of course Cars, alongside material from the forthcoming album, nearly five months ahead of the Splinter UK tour.
