Dexys Midnight Runners
Dexys Midnight Runners have announced details of a U.K & Irish tour.
The dates will be the first time the band, fronted by Kevin Rowland, have toured under the name of Dexys Midnight Runners since 2003, when they played a sold-out show at London’s Southbank Centre.
Founded in Birmingham in 1978, Dexys Midnight Runners released three critically and commerciallysuccessful albums - Searching For The Young Soul Rebels (1980), Too-Rye-Ay (1982) & Don’t Stand Me Down (1985).
The band had a string of top ten hits in the 1980s, including two number ones, ‘Geno’ (1980) & ‘Come on Eileen’ (1982).
Front person Kevin Rowland would go on to release both solo and further band albums, under the ‘Dexys’ name, including their 2012 ‘comeback’ album, One Day I’m Going To Soar, which came out to widespread acclaim and 2023’s The Feminine Divine, which made number 6 in the U.K. albums chart.
Rowland, one of the most individual and unique musical talents of the past 40 years, recently released his memoir, Bless Me Father.
Dexy’s Midnight Runners are working with Heavenly Recordings.
