Eurythmics
Songbook tour marks first time in more than 20 years fans can see a full length
show of Eurythmics classics performed on tour by Stewart and full live band!
Dave Stewart, the award-winning singer,
songwriter, musician, producer, innovator and Eurythmics co-founder,
is set to captivate audiences across Europe once again as he announces Eurythmics Songbook: Sweet Dreams 40th
Anniversary Tour.
Featuring Dave alongside an
all-female band of virtuoso singers and musicians, the tour promises to take
fans on a nostalgic and electrifying musical journey spanning four decades of
the iconic musical partnership’s groundbreaking hits.
Celebrating a remarkable 40 years since the release of the timeless Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), Eurythmics, known for their unique blend of synth-pop, new wave, soul and rock, have sold over 75 million albums worldwide since their 1980’s debut and have become enduring icons of popular music.
Following a highly acclaimed one-off Eurythmics Songbook show
at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2019 and with the blessing of musical
partner Annie Lennox, who no longer tours, Stewart has
decided to take the show on the road. This show garnered some rave reviews:
“Sweet
dreams of synthpop heaven.”
-The Guardian
“Heart
stopping performances.”
-The Sunday Times
“A
night of musical joy.”
-The Weekender, London
“Serious
passion in this house...ticker tape was flying in celebration of fandom,
friendship and fabulous song craft.”
-The Telegraph
The duo, who still come together for one off performances, such
as for their induction last year into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, are delighted to be celebrating this landmark anniversary of Sweet Dreams
and Stewart is relishing the chance to play a
carefully curated selection of timeless hits from their extraordinary catalogue
of songs, live on tour for the first time in over 20 years.
Dave Stewart said: “I love playing live shows and am so
excited to be onstage with this amazing lineup of musicians and singers most of
whom I have performed with on many occasions. My great friend Vanessa Amorosi
an Australian legend known for her powerful vocal prowess , RAHH a brilliant
artist/singer from Warrington with whom I’ve recorded and performed with for
nearly 10 years and my daughter (Annie’s goddaughter) Kaya Stewart who
was singing “There Must Be An Angel” on Annie’s knee since she was 5-years-old
and since 14 has performed hundreds of solo shows wowing crowds with her very
soulful and emotional voice. Choosing a band that are all outstanding female
musicians led by the brilliant keyboardist Hannah Koppenburg is my way of
paying homage to my great friend and collaborator Annie Lennox.
The tour is set to be a fitting testament to the enduring impact
of Eurythmics’ music and the duo's lasting influence on the global music
landscape.
"Eurythmics Songbook: Sweet Dreams 40th
Anniversary Tour" promises an unforgettable experience,
featuring state of the art production and visuals, and a myriad of mega-hits
including: "Sweet
Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Here Comes The Rain Again," “Love
Is A Stranger”, “Would I Lie To You”, “Missionary Man” and “There Must Be An
Angel (Playing With My Heart).”
The full band line up is
as follows: Dave Stewart on
guitars, Vanessa Amorosi, RAHH and Kaya Stewart on
vocals, Hannah Koppenburg on keyboards, Indiara Sfair on harmonica
& backing vocals, Julia Lamb on bass guitars & backing vocals and Ellie
East on drums.
