Yazoo To Reform.


VINCE CLARKE AND ALISON MOYET TO REUNITE FOR FIRST UK SHOWS IN 25 YEARS

Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet have announced that they will reunite for the first time in over 25 years for Reconnected, a UK tour in June, starting in Glasgow on the 4th and culminating in a headline show at London's Hammersmith Apollo on the 18th.

The tour is preceded by the release of In Your Room, a 4 disc box set which includes remasters and 5.1 mixes of both Yazoo's classic albums Upstairs at Eric's and You And Me Both, b-sides and remixes, 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)."

The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet, lasted for only 2 albums, saw them performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but left an indelible mark on pop. Yazoo released Upstairs at Eric's in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album You And Me Both, which reached #1 in the UK. Vince and Alison have since gone on to have their own successful careers, Vince with Erasure and Alison as a solo performer, both releasing critically acclaimed albums in 2007. The Reconnected tour will also see Yazoo perform material from You And Me Both live for the very first time.
