Erasure head for forest gig
The band have been away from recording and live concerts for more than four years and have just announced their Total Pop! tour – a series of dates for summer 2011 playing their hits as part of Forestry Commission Live Music events.
Erasure’s Andy Bell said: “This wonderful opportunity to perform for the fans in such a unique backdrop feels like just the right way to jump back in to Erasure after a four-year break.
“We’re excited to be playing in the woods and really hope it doesn’t rain.”
They will play a total of seven dates across the country and are due to play at Dalby Forest, near Pickering, on Saturday June 25.
The tour also coincides with the release of a new album.
Erasure formed 25 years ago and the award-winning duo released a succession of both influential and chart-topping pop anthems of the 1980s and 1990s including Sometimes, Victim Of Love, Ship Of Fools, Blue Savannah, Star and Who Needs Love (Like That).
