Following his phenomenally successful \u2018Kings of the Wild Frontier\u2019 tour that saw pop icon Adam Ant play the landmark album to over 50,000 fans in sold-out venues throughout the UK and North America, Adam Ant embarks on ANTHEMS – The Singles tour on 5th May 2017. Adam will play his classic chart-topping singles as well as rare singles, B sides and personal favourites.\u00a0 For more information, visit his official website<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

From his early days in London as an underground, post-punk artist with a cult-like following to his explosion on the world stage that would lead him to become one of the most iconic and greatest artists of the 80s, Adam\u2019s musical career spans the course of nine albums and 25 chart-topping singles around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

Adam, who has sold more than 40,000,000 albums, had eight singles in the Top 40 in one week, globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

His debut album, \u2018Dirk Wears White Sox\u2019, was the first number-one album in the UK on the newly-created UK Independent Albums Chart that debuted in 1980.\u00a0 <\/span>His follow-up album \u2018Kings of the Wild Frontier\u2019 catapulted him to the world stage, spent 12 weeks at number one in the UK (being crowned Best Album at the 1982 BRIT Awards), produced three chart-topping singles \u2018Dog Eat Dog\u2019, \u2018Antmusic\u2019 and \u2018Kings of the Wild Frontier\u2019 and featured his trademark Burundi Beat style of Central African drumming, a musical signature that remains to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Antmania continued to sweep the nation, his third album, \u2018Prince Charming\u2019, introduced his landmark single \u2018Stand and Deliver\u2019 which topped the UK Singles Chart for five weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

His fourth album, \u2018Friend or Foe\u2019 with its massive hit single \u2018Goody Two Shoes\u2019 and follow-up \u2018Desperate But Not Serious\u2019, turned him into a household name and earned him a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist in 1982.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam Ant live is no excursion in nostalgia, with his crack 5-piece band behind him featuring two drummers, it\u2019s a thrill ride through some of the most dynamic and thunderous pop music ever recorded. Adam will be joined on the tour by Glam Skanks, an all-female glitter rock band from Los Angeles who supported Adam on his recent US tour.<\/span><\/p>\n
