Boy George and Culture Club

Boy George and Culture Club have announced a major UK and Ireland arena tour for this December where they’ll be playing their Kissing To Be Clever and Colour By Numbers albums in their entirety.

Kissing To Be Clever, Culture Club’s Grammy-nominated chart-topping 1982 debut, propelled the band to international stardom. The band returned the following year with Colour By Numbers, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and featured the classic Karma Chameleon. The song topped charts globally and became the biggest-selling UK single of that year.

Special guests for the tour will be Tony Hadley and Heaven 17. Hadley’s setlist will celebrate the two classic Spandau Ballet albums True and Parade, while Heaven 17 will perform material from their first two acclaimed LPs Penthouse And Pavement and The Luxury Gap.

Boy George says: “I am calling this ‘The Zero Arguments Tour’ because we are performing our first two albums Kissing To Be Clever and Colour By Numbers exactly as they were made and in exact order. I love the idea of this because some of these songs are fan favourites and have never been performed. I think it will be really special for the fans.”
