Dexys Midnight Runners have announced a UK and Ireland tour set to kick off this October. The run of dates marks the first time the band, fronted by Kevin Rowland, have toured under the Dexys Midnight Runners name since 2003, when they played a sold-out show at London’s Southbank Centre.
Formed in Birmingham in 1978, Dexys Midnight Runners released three critically and commercially successful albums — Searching for the Young Soul Rebels (1980), Too-Rye-Ay (1982) and Don’t Stand Me Down (1985).
The band scored a string of Top 10 hits throughout the 1980s, including two UK No.1 singles — ‘Geno’ (1980) and ‘Come On Eileen’ (1982).
In the years since, Kevin Rowland has continued to release music both solo and under the Dexys name, including their acclaimed 2012 comeback album One Day I’m Going to Soar, and 2023’s The Feminine Divine, which reached No.6 on the UK Albums Chart.
One of the most distinctive voices in British music over the past four decades, Rowland recently published his memoir Bless Me Father.
Dexys Midnight Runners are currently working with Heavenly Recordings.
