Diana Anaid Joins Adam Ant On Australian Tour
Australian singer/songwriter Diana Anaid has been announced today as the support for 80s icon Adam Ant for his forthcoming tour of Australia. Best known for her 90s indie pop anthem ‘I Go Off’, Anaid had one of the decade’s biggest breakout indie hits after triple j support turned her into an indie household name. She’ll be playing songs from across her 20+ year career.
Following his recent sold out North American and UK tours, pop icon Adam Ant is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the release of his landmark “Kings of the Wild Frontier” album with a newly-remastered reissue (Sony Legacy) and Australian tour. Adam will play the classic album in its entirety and in sequence.
For ticket information, visit www.mjrpresents.com "I'm really looking forward to performing the 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' album live and in sequence plus my other favorite songs from the repertoire, in Australia,” Adam said. “Kings of the Wild Frontier” introduced the Burundi Beat style of thundering, infectious, Central African drumming to a pop-music audience.
Adam captured the live sound by incorporating two drummers into his band, a musical signature that remains to this day. In addition to remastering the classic album, Adam personally designed the deluxe box set that includes items from his extensive personal archive and a bonus DVD of the out-of-print “Ants In Japan” concert video.
The platinum album, originally released in 1980, crowned the UK Album Chart and spent more time in the top position than any other album at the time. The album went on to achieve worldwide recognition and produced massive chart-topping singles including the classic “Antmusic”, the breakthrough tribal onslaught of “Dog Eat Dog” and the epic title track. In Australia, the “Antmusic” single spent five weeks at #1 on the charts.
Was a fan many moons ago and hadn't gotten to see him before so was looking forward to it. It was great hearing all the old song and Adam looked fantastic but I did think the sound wasn't that great. But I've been told its the venue. The band were awsome, especially that this was the first gig after losing a band member.
Adam put on great show full of energy and sounded great - a fitting tribute to Tom Edwards
Fantastic concert, I waited 27 years for a chance to see him perform.....it was worth the wait!
Adam Ant played for almost two hours to a small but enthusiastic crowd of mainly women. The sound wasn't the best but it didn't really matter. He covered songs from 1978 to 2013 and proved he's still got it !
It was great to see Adam Ant again after so many years of being absent in the music scene. The only trouble was the sound at the Phoenix was like a tin can, pretty much every song sounded awful. Shame.
I went to see him in concert for the first time after so many years of admiring him since the 80's...after all those years he still got it.. His presence on the stage leaves you in total awe. He has the moves.
