Adam Ant Announces National Australian Tour

Adam Ant

Adam and the Ants scored 10 Top ten UK hits in the 80’s including three number one’s with their hits 'Ant Music', 'Goodie Two Shoes', 'Prince Charming' and 'Stand And Deliver' which saw Adam Ant win the Ivor Novella award, after it spent five weeks at number one. For almost two years, Adam and the Ants dominated the charts with their singles and albums earning them a Brit award for their 2nd album, Kings of the Wild Frontier, plus a Grammy nomination.

It would be twelve years before Adam would play live again, with an acoustic show in London, where Adam read from his recently released biography Stand & Deliver. This rekindled recognition resulted in a series of low key, spontaneous “guerrilla gigs” around London in early 2010 which enabled Adam to build up a new band and sell out several shows. With the band line up settled, Adam Ant and the Good, The Mad & The Lovely Posse embarked on a successful and extensive tour playing to over 150,000 people in the UK, which ended with them supporting Rod Stewart at Hyde Park.

Adam Ant will release his new album 'Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar In Marrying The Gunners Daughter' in June this year, on Adam’s record label, Blueblack Hussar Records.

Supporting Adam Ant and the Good, The Mad & The Lovely Posse will be labelmates Georgie Girl and Her Poussez Posse.
