Bryan Ferry has announced the North American leg of his 2019 world tour celebrating Roxy Music’s iconic 1982 album Avalon. Coinciding with the band’s induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this March, the tour will feature Ferry performing songs off of that record, as well as his solo work and tunes from the Roxy Music songbook. The 73 year old sophisti-pop crooner just released his sixteenth studio LP, Bittersweet.
In 1995, the Spin Alternative Record Guide called the smooth Avalon “one of the all-time great makeout infernos.” Ferry will kick off the tour, appropriately enough, on Valentine’s Day in South Africa, and wrap things up in Vancouver this September. A full list of dates is below.
