Forty years ago Howard Jones released his album “Dream into Action”. This year he is celebrating that album with a big tour that is set to begin this September in the United States. Haircut 100 and DJ Richard Blade will be the opening acts for the U.S. dates.
Released in 1985, “Dream into Action” spawned the hit singles “Things Can Only Get Better”, “No One is to Blame”, “Life in One Day”, and “Like to Get to Know You Well”.
Speaking on the upcoming tour, Jones said, “thrilled to be touring with my good friends Haircut 100 and Richard Blade once again for this celebratory anniversary of ‘Dream into Action’, the shows are gonna be rocking, can’t wait to see you there”.
Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 said,”Haircut 100 are massive Howard Jones fans and we’re looking forward to touring the US with him again in September. Like us, he has the loveliest fans and we can’t wait to see you all again.”
Richard Blade added, “I’m so excited to be going back out on tour with Howard Jones. Being on the road with him in February and having the privilege to watch his amazing performances every night was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, now it’s going to be twice in a lifetime!! And to have Haircut 100 and my dear friend Nick Heyward joining us will make it an absolutely unmissable concert experience. I can’t wait to see you at the shows – they’re going to be great.”
