 Yazoo
The band are set to embark on a world tour taking in the UK, Europe and the USA.
After Vince found fame as founder member and main songwriter in Depeche Mode, the floppy-haired keyboard maestro responded to an advert placed in Melody Maker by fellow Basildonian Alison and they formed Yazoo. They quickly became one of the UK’s most respected musical duos, leaving their mark on the charts.
The follow up album, You and Me Both was released just as the band were splitting up, leaving fans desperate to hear the songs performed live. The song went on to reach No. 1 regardless.
This summer, Yazoo are reuniting for their first tour in almost 3 decades. The Reconnected Tour will see the duo playing rare material alongside their hits.
The tour is preceded in May by the release of In Your Room, a 4-disc box set including the band’s two albums, B-Sides and a DVD featuring a short film containing exclusive new interviews with Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet and the promo videos for Don’t Go, The Other Side of Love, Nobody’s Diary and Only You.
