Holy Crow! Buggles US Tour [?!] Opening For Seal

A friend just let me know that…yow! The Buggles will be touring America…widely.. As the opening act for the 2023 Seal tour of The States. Trevor Horn was the musical director for the Seal show so…why not?!

The show comes to as close as two hours away in Charlotte. I'n not comfortable seeing shows but this one kind of tempts me. What was the likelihood that there would ever be a Buggles show in America? So far they have been rare UK-only events. Uncanny. I guess the big question is… is Geoff Downes involved?

[edit] It looks like it!

[edit] Naaaaw. He's on the road with Steve Howe's Yes at the same time. Retropop had it wrong.

Didn't Seal record for ZTT, with Horn producing his first album?

This is a nice reminder that I need to finally sit down and listen to THE AGE OF PLASTIC all the way through.

Horn seems to have produced many of his albums. The first four [I + II were ZTT albums] and then others later? When Horn sold ZTT to Warner Brothers they bought him out basically to get Seal. Horn was more than ready by then.

Oh my gosh! My heart leaped into my throat when I read the topic line. The Buggles were never on my bucket list, but only because I simply took it for granted that I'd never get the chance to see them. This is like a late Christmas gift, or an early birthday gift!

Marking my work calendar now, to make sure June 12 doesn't get stepped on. (And it's at a good venue, to boot.) Sweet! This makes my entire week.

They kept the grand finale of the tour just for you, Delvin.

If anyone happens to get their hands on the presale codes, kindly pass them along here. Thanks!
