Synth-pop fans are in for a treat: The Human League has announced the “Generations” tour, a month-long North American trek kicking off June 2nd in San Diego, California, and concluding July 2nd in Niagara, Ontario.
A Reunion of 80s Icons
The Human League, formed in 1977 in Sheffield, England, achieved international success with their 1981 album Dare, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and featured the hit song “Don’t You Want Me.” Joining them on tour will be fellow 1980s synth-pop stars Soft Cell, known for their Top 10 hit “Tainted Love,” and Alison Moyet, who first gained recognition as part of the duo Yazoo.
Tickets for most dates go on sale to the general public this Friday, with a pre-sale exception for the Vienna, VA show, which goes on sale February 27th. The tour marks a significant return for The Human League, who have only performed a dozen shows in the U.S. over the past decade, according to setlist.fm.
First U.S. Tour in Fifteen Years
In a social media statement, the band expressed their excitement, calling the tour “probably our biggest live announcement of the year” and their “first coast to coast U.S. tour since 2011!” They also highlighted their enthusiasm about being joined by Soft Cell and Alison Moyet.
The “Generations” tour will include stops at iconic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
