Hot on the trail of their new 5-track CD single When I Start To (Break It All Down) earlier this week the 2011 album and short film Tomorrow’s World; synth-pop superstars Erasure will be heading to Blackpool to perform at the new-look North Pier Theatre on Saturday 5th November in a special one-off exclusive “up close and personal” concert.
Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, aka Erasure, appeared on the music scene in 1985 when they released their first single Who Needs Love Like That. Vince had previously been a founding member of Depeche Mode and then half of the Alf/Vince pop duo Yazoo. On the breakup of Yazoo, Vince placed an advert in the music newspaper Melody Maker for a singer; Andy answered, sang for Vince… and the rest is music history! With over 25 million album sales and more than 40 hit singles, Erasure are here to stay!
Erasure – Live In Concert starts at 7.30pm with support artistes and DJs to get the party started.
The North Pier Theatre was temporarily closed recently to allow essential refurbishment and renovation work to be carried out in the back stage and dressing room areas; the aim, to attract more star names, theatre shows and concerts. Peter Sedgwick, owner of Blackpool North Pier said, “There was a lot of work to be completed to attract modern headline artists and that work had to be carried out during the late summer months before the harsh weather we see during winter sets in. We hope that both local theatregoers and visitors to the resort will support our efforts and come and see some of the concerts and shows we will have lined up for the remainder of this year and next. This is only the beginning!”
Tickets for Erasure – Live In Concert (Saturday 5th November at 7.30pm) are just £25 and will be available from 10am on Monday 3rd October. Hurry and make sure you get yours; this show is going to be a sell-out!
