Here are the US dates according to Pollstar.


Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet have announced that they will reunite for the first time in over 25 years as Yaz for Reconnected, a brief US tour in July.
The duo will also tour the U.K. and Europe, but as Yazoo, the name the band goes by overseas.
The run includes stops in Denmark, Germany, Ireland, half a dozen cities in the U.K. and the Sonar festival in Spain.
The U.S. trek kicks off July 7 at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, Calif., and includes stops at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles (July 10-11), the Chicago Theatre in Chicago (July 14) and New York City's Terminal 5 (July 16-17).
Tickets go on sale in Chicago on March 7, in New York City and Los Angeles beginning March 8 and in Oakland on March 9 at Ticketmaster.com.
The tour is preceded by In Your Room, a 4 disc box set which includes remasters and 5.1 mixes of both Yaz classic albums Upstairs At Eric's and You And Me Both, b-sides, remixes and a DVD featuring a new short film containing exclusive new interviews with Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet and the promo videos for "Don't Go," "The Other Side Of Love," "Nobody's Diary," "Situation (1990)" and "Only You (1999)."
A limited edition vinyl 12" with new dance mixes will also be released to promote the set.
The Reconnected tour will see Yaz perform material from You And Me Both for the very first time, as Clarke and Moyet decided to part ways just after the release of the album in 1983.

Epic! This has gotta be a must-see. LA and NY shows? That sounds like a NWO get-together right there!

[cubby]

Well, NYC I am there!!!

[ebbhead]

Brilliant. And am likely going to be in LA around the dates of those shows!! LA and NY, here I come.

[cubby]

What NYC date is everyone going to? I am getting tiks for July 17th so I can make it a long weekend.

[ebbhead]

Will be at both, if I can score tix for em both.

[Frau_Blucher]

Any idea when the tix go on sale? I only see the Chicago date listed, with that going on sale 3/7.

[cubby]

I think NY and LA go on sale this coming Saturday (3/8)

How's the Orpheum Theater in LA as a venue?

I stopped reading after about 5 comments describing NYC's Terminal 5 [:(]

[Frau_Blucher]

There's no doubt that Terminal 5 imposes a large premium on getting a good location. It's fairly narrow and deep. The 2nd and 3rd tiers are quite high, and if you don't have a rail-side vantage point, you can't see the stage because it's so steep. Location is a bitch as well. Like one reviewer said, it's a mile from the nearest subway stop, plus the parking garage across the street is a fucking fortune!

Alrighty then, who's goin'?!!! [:p]

[schwenko]

OK, to answer my own question, here is the corresponding Orpheum Theater review:

Definitely considering LA[:0]

[cubby]

Alright, since tiks are $65, is it worth it considering all the bad things I have heard about Terminal 5???

[Bitter Almonds]

<p align="justify">Oh, shit. I just got two tix for the Thursday show in LA. They're left orchestra, but it's row J, so it isn't all lost[}:)] I'm thinking about getting two more for Friday, but the best seats were on the right orchestra in row P[V]
