Front 242 announce 2020 fall U.S. tour

EBM pioneers Front 242 have announced a U.S. tour surrounding their performance at Chicago’s Cold Waves Festival.

Revealed yesterday, the trek kicks off on September 16 inside Philadelphia’s Underground Arts, and it’ll feature stops in major cities such as Brooklyn, Denver, Phoenix, and Dallas before concluding inside The Orpheum in Tampa on October 4. Tickets for most of these shows will go on sale this Friday (February 14) at 10 a.m. local time.

While Front 242’s last studio album was 2003’s Pulse, members of the group have been busy with side projects. Last year, programmer Daniel B. released the albums One to One and Xaosonix. Vocalist Jean-Luc De Meyer collaborated with Jean-Marc Lederman for the A Tribe of My Own EP and their debut album Eleven Grinding Songs in 2018.
