Way cool! I hope you get to see them, special once(?)in a lifetime treat!

They broke up over not ever wanting to tour as I heard it via Vince Clarke... Aylison wanted to tour... don't know if that is true or not.

Can only hope it leads into some sort of U.S. tour.

[Demetri]

I'd love to know what the B-sides and remixes are! WOW...

From what I read, US dates are being planned.

A-MAZING!

I really hope this is true because I will be getting tickets the minute they go on sale for sure! Also, I am hoping 2008 to be a good year for concerts.

Let's hope OMD, Human League, and the Sparks tour the US

U.S. Dates are officially planned. [:)]

Yaz Back Together For Summer Shows

January 22, 2008, 2:35 PM ET

Katie Hasty, N.Y.

For the first time in more than 25 years, British dance duo Yazoo -- known as Yaz in the United States -- will reunite for a series of shows in the U.K. and U.S. this summer.

The Reconnected tour kicks off June 4 at the Glasgow Clyde Auditorium in Scotland and continues for four more dates, finishing June 18 at London's Hammersmith Apollo. U.S. dates are yet to be announced.

Tickets for the European shows go on sale Friday (Jan. 25) through the band's Web site, then go up for general sale Feb. 1.

"In Your Room," a four-disc collection of remasters, remixes, B-sides, a DVD and the band's only two albums "Upstairs at Eric's" and "You and Me Both," is also set for release in May.

Group members Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet parted ways in the summer of 1983, after the success of their singles "Only You" and "Don't Go," plus the U.K. chart-topper "You and Me Both."


Clarke has spent the rest of his career in Erasure; singer Moyet has released a number of solo albums, including last year's "Turn."

Here are Yaz's tour dates:

June 4: Glasgow (Clyde Auditorium)
June 7: Manchester, England (Apollo)
June 12: Wolverhampton, England (Wolverhampton Civic Hall)
June 15: Brighton, England (Brighton Centre)
June 18: London (Hammersmith Apollo)

Most likely they will be playing more east coast shows versus west coast. They had mainstream success in many New York City clubs throughout the early 80's.

[cubby]

I say either Roseland or Hammerstein Ballroom for the NYC dates.

Pretty sure they had similar success in California and other major US markets.

Thought I'm guessing not an extensive tour. Betting on:

NY (1-2 shows)
SF
LA (2, maybe 3, dates - LA & OC, perhaps)
Chicago
And one or two of DC, Miami, Boston, Dallas...

[bigwavedave]

"Don't Go" received decent airplay in Seattle (radio and clubs)...hope they make a stop here as well!

[Yachtingtype]

Perhaps but the same rule is also followed with Stan Ridgway. He will play 1 east coast show out of his 20 each time he is on tour because he had more success on the west coast.

They were huge here in LA - KROQ wasn't the only station playing them at the time. Situation has become a staple of any late night dj's set as well.
