OMD at Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall

Date: Sat 4th Oct
Time: 19:30


With a new album on the way OMD continue to delight and entertain audiences globally. Electronic Pop Gurus OMD are set to tour the UK in September and October of this year. OMD emerged from the dynamic music scene of Liverpool in the late 1970’s. Founder members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys had originally been inspired by German bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu. Working with radio sets and home made synthesisers,
McCluskey and Humphreyscreated their own music. Naming themselves after one of their own early songs, McCluskey and Humphreys launched their own unique style of catchy electronic melodies that helped form OMD’s reputation for intelligent pop.

OMD rapidly became one of the UK ’s premier pop acts with the release of their first single Electricity (and it’s flip side Almost) in 1979. They continued to have hits throughout the 80s and early 90s. After effectively retiring for the latter part of the 1990’s, they decided it was time for an OMD revival. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys reunited alongside former band members Mal Holmes and Martin Cooper. In 2007 they embarked on an extensive UK and European tour showcasing their classic Architecture & Morality album (1981). The 2007 Architecture & Morality tour served as a reminder of what an engaging band OMD were live. They had lost none of the power or the impact that they had demonstrated on those early 80’s performances. With a new album on the way OMD continue to delight and entertain audiences globally.
