Numan playing run of smaller shows in between festival sets this summer

Confirmed not only to appear on huge stages across the UK this summer, the 'Godfather of Electro' Gary Numan has announced that he'll be going back to his roots, visiting a number of towns and cities throughout the land he hasn't played in many years as an offering of gratitude for their support last year, when Numan released his 20th album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind), one of tQ’s top albums of 2013.

Alongside high-profile appearances at Ireland’s Body And Soul in June and Sonisphere and Alt Fest in July, the Nume will be playing more low-key shows in Chester, Cambridge, Norwich, Reading, Exeter, Bournemouth, Preston, Leamington Spa and Holmfirth. He'll also be playing London's Hammersmith Eventim Apollo on November 28. Tickets for all shows are on sale today; for full details of his tour, visit Numan’s website here.
