"When you think of the 80s, Howard Jones is one of the Great British icons," says Absolute Radio's Content Director, Tony Moorey. "He's already proven himself to be an amazing singer, songwriter and musician, and we believe he can add 'radio presenter' to that list. Absolute Radio has previously established music talent and worked with them to produce first-rate radio. We know that Howard will do a fantastic job."

Electronic 80s With Howard Jones dovetails Howard's highly anticipated April 2012 UK Tour, which begins at the O2 Academy Bristol on Wednesday 11th April. This marks the first time Howard will perform his first two studios albums Human's Lib and Dream Into Action, back-to-back in their entirety on a nationwide tour.
