Erasure will bring their Radio!! Radio!! tour to Brighton Centre on Tuesday 11 May 2027, with Ladytron confirmed as special guests.
Andy Bell will perform on stage, while Vince Clarke will oversee the music as musical director without appearing in person. That arrangement is confirmed by the band and is an important detail for fans choosing tickets.
Why Vince Clarke will not be on stage
The official tour information says Clarke will create and programme the music and remain involved in tour planning. The change concerns his role at the concerts, rather than his membership of Erasure or involvement in the new record.
In the album announcement, Clarke explained that long-distance travel from his home in California had taken a toll. Bell said the pair had found a way for the tour to work while keeping Clarke closely involved.
A new album alongside the familiar songs
The tour accompanies Erasure’s twentieth studio album, Radio!! Radio!!, due from Mute on 12 March 2027. The first track announced from it is Wings Of Love.
Mute’s announcement describes a record exploring love, loss and injustice, with piano and acoustic guitar adding to the duo’s synth-pop sound. The tour follows in April and May, taking in UK and Irish arenas before continuing into mainland Europe.
Bell and Clarke formed Erasure in 1985. Their catalogue includes Sometimes, A Little Respect, Blue Savannah, Always and Chains Of Love, songs that helped establish the partnership across several generations of pop listeners.
The Brighton concert combines that established songbook with the next chapter of their recording career. An exact set list has not been announced.
