Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark will return to the live stage in June 2021 for a new livestream show.
The ‘You Me & OMD’ show will feature selections from the group’s iconic ‘Architecture & Morality’, as well as plenty of greatest hits, and will be recorded from London’s Indigo at The O2 on June 19.
The group are raising money and awareness for their crew, whose livelihoods have been so affected in the wake of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Singer Andy McCluskey says of the concept: “As a result of the pandemic, and seeing the plight of technical crew and suppliers in the music industry, we have decided to put our money where our mouths are.
“We want to raise money for the crew members who have been with us now for many years. All profit will be divided between our essential but unseen stars of OMD’s live performances.
“This concert will also employ theatre staff and generate income for audio, lighting companies, promoters and many more, and we couldn’t be more delighted to be able to give something back,” he adds in a press release.
The show will be live streamed with a Zoom-integrated audience of 1,000. There will also be a chance for fans to be in the limited 200 capacity physical audience.
Tickets for the show are available now.
