Midge Ure and Band Electronica set to play in Dublin and here's how to get tickets

Midge Ure And Band Electronica are coming to Dublin this October.

The Scottish musician will be playing at the Olympia Theatre on October 29.

And fans are in for a treat as this will be the first time the album “Vienna” will be performed in its entirety since it came out 40 years ago.

Tickets are now on sale for €34.15 plus booking fee on Ticketmaster.

Midge Ure said: “Autumn 1979 was a pivotal point in my career trajectory.

“Over the previous two years I had grown from ‘pop band’ (Slik) to ‘post punk band’ (The Rich Kids) to being a stand in guitarist for Thin Lizzy. Over the course of autumn into winter 1979, while working on the Visage project with Billy Currie, I was invited to join Ultravox.

“The work we did that winter on the ‘Vienna’ album was an exhilarating rush of creativity the likes of which I had never experienced before.

“Forty years later I want to celebrate this period and as we pass from 2019 into 2020 play the ‘Vienna’ album in its entirety along with highlights from the eponymous ‘Visage’ album.

“Join me and my Band Electronica celebrating the year of release for both the Vienna and Visage albums....1980.”
