Boy George and Culture Club Announce
40-city, 2016
Tour
The Iconic Band Returns for A Full Tour Across the U.S, Canada,
Mexico, Australia and Asia
April 11, 2016 (Los Angeles) –
Overwhelming excitement and outstanding reviews caused by Boy George and Culture Club's
performances from last year's brief mini-tour of the U.S has driven the
group to announce their first full tour in over 12 years spanning 40
cities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia and Asia. Known for dominating the charts worldwide
with their classic hits including “Karma Chameleon,” “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me,” and “Miss Me Blind,” the
iconic band will make a stop at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles on Saturday, August 20.
Throughout Culture Club’s 2015
mini-tour, the band received rave reviews from some of music’s toughest
critics:
“But if you like to go out, if
you like to feel good, if you like to be transported by music, if
you’re in search of authenticity in a land inundated by fake. This is your
gig’’ - Bob Leftsetz, The Leftsetz Letter
"headliner Culture Club
provided soul aplenty, thanks to a large backing band consisting of female
singers, a horn section and George’s own burnished vocals. “Church of the
Poisoned Mind” was as vibrant as ever!" - George A. Paul, Orange
County Register
“Re-emphasized George as an
outsider who found a path to acceptance by his sheer lovability," and the
group's performance, "underscored the two themes of the night - the pull
of nostalgia and the power of individuality.” - Jim Farber, New York Daily News
The Grammy Award®–winning band
received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans last year as they
reunited and toured 20 cities in North America, leading Culture Club band
members Mikey Craig (bass guitar), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), Jon Moss
(drums and percussion) and the flamboyant front-man Boy George (lead vocals) to
embark on one of their biggest tours-to-date in 2016.
As the first multi-racial band with an openly gay front man,
Culture Club has set many records, including being the first band since The
Beatles to have three Top Ten hits in America from a debut album. In the
eighties the band dominated the charts in over a dozen countries, with
multi-platinum albums and more than 50 million albums sold worldwide to date.
In 2014, Culture Club reunited to create new music and has been in the studio
putting the finishing touches on their new album Tribes, available
now for pre-order,
set to release later this year. The band recently headlined iHeart Radio’s 2016
“iHeart 80s Party” at The Forum in L.A. to a packed crowd.
