Gary Numan Pleasure Principle 30th Anniversary Tour
. On The Pleasure Principle 2010 Tour, he will perform in its entirety the album that climbed into the Top 20 on the U.S. charts 30 years ago propelled by his unforgettable Top 10 single "Cars." The shows will feature material spanning across NUMAN's career, including tracks from his forthcoming album Splinter which he's currently working on in the U.K. Numan last toured America in 2006 in support of his Jagged album and was set to appear at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this past April, but had to cancel due to the volcanic eruptions in Iceland blocking air traffic. For his 2010 fall tour starting in mid-October, fans will be able to catch him in 15 markets including Orlando, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Emilie Autumn will join NUMAN as the support act in Philadelphia and New York City, with others to be announced for the other cities. The Pleasure Principle made Gary Numan a huge international solo star upon its release in 1979. Given the soft rock and disco-dominated music scene in America at the end of the decade, the disc pioneered electronic pop music on a new, worldwide scale built around icy synthesizers without guitars or conventional song structures ("Cars" doesn't even have a chorus). The disc's impact was crystallized in the U.S. when Numan performed "Cars" and "Praying To The Aliens" an audience of 40 million people on Saturday Night Live. The music from The Pleasure Principle gave birth to new musical movements in the States over the next decade, including hip-hop, industrial and techno.
