Gary Numan is set to hit the road in support of his brand new album ‘Intruder‘ next year.
The Are ‘Friends’ Electric? hitmaker kicks off the jaunt in April, 2022, with the trek including a performance at the SSE Arena, Wembley, in London on May 7, along with dates across the UK and mainland Europe.
In a statement, he says: “To say I’ve missed touring would be a colossal understatement. It’s the life I chose when I was a teenager so not being able to tour the world has been very difficult.
“But now things are changing once again and the next UK tour has been announced and I am as excited as I was when all this started for me a lifetime ago. More so in fact.”
So excited to get back on the stage.

Gary adds: “I can’t wait to walk out onto a stage again, to hear the roar of the crowd, the ear shattering volume of the music, to be bathed in light and soak up that emotion. It’s what I’m here for.”
Gary’s tour will see him play 18 dates in the UK and Ireland, as well as several dates across the continent. His Wembley performance will mark the first time Gary has played in the venue since his three sold-out farewell concerts back in 1981.
It’s the joint largest headline show he’s has ever played in the UK.
In a recent interview with Retro Pop, Gary hinted at what fans can expect from the tour, teasing “big things” are in the pipeline as he readies a show for larger venues.
“I’ve long been thinking about asymmetric light shows; huge towers running on one side and something very, very different than the other,” he muses.
“I’ve been working on that for years and trying to find a way of making that work no matter where you sit, and it’s very tricky,” says Gary. “But I’ve been working on some things and this might be the time to give that a try.”
Tickets go are on sale now.
