Tickets are now on sale for Culture Club's UK arena tour with Tony Hadley and Heaven 17

Last updated 14th Jun 2024
Music legends Boy George and Culture Club recently announced a major UK and Ireland arena tour for December 2024, and the tickets are now on sale.
The 10-date tour celebrates Culture Club’s first two studio albums, 1982’s ‘Kissing To Be Clever’ and 1983’s ‘Colour By Numbers’, and they will perform the records from start to finish.
Fans can expect to hear classic hits including ‘Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,’ ‘Karma Chameleon’, ‘Time (Clock of the Heart)’ and ‘Church of the Poison Mind’, plus other material from the band’s recording history.
The tour opens at Dublin 3Arena on Tuesday 3rd December and visits Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Cardiff, Nottingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham before culminating at London The O2 on Sunday 15th December.
The very special guests on the trek will be Spandau Ballet legend Tony Hadley and fellow 80s icons Heaven 17.
Tony Hadley will perform tracks to commemorate the two classic albums ‘True’ and ‘Parade’, whilst Heaven 17 will perform tracks from their first two renowned albums ‘Penthouse and Pavement’ and ‘The Luxury Gap’.
Boy George says: “I am calling this ‘The Zero Arguments Tour’ because we are performing our first two albums ‘Kissing To Be Clever’ and ‘Colour By Numbers’ exactly as they were made and in exact order.
“I love the idea of this because some of these songs are fan favourites and have never been performed. I think it will be really special for the fans.”
