The Human League Are Coming to Australia Next Year

The Human League are touring Australia next year to celebrate one of their albums.

The 80s synth-pop favourites will perform their third studio album, Dare!, in full on the upcoming tour.

The English band can be seen in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth in March of next year (see full dates below).

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, July 25th at 9am local time. The early bird pre-sale begins on Friday, July 21st at 9am local time.

Dare! was a big hit for The Human League around the world, reaching the top three on the UK, US, and Australian charts. In Australia, the album eventually achieved platinum status.

It contained four hit singles, none more iconic than the timeless anthem “Don’t You Want Me”, which remains a radio favourite to this day.

Interestingly, the band’s frontman Philip Oakey originally considered “Don’t You Want Me” to be the weakest track on Dare!, but time proved him wrong.

Rolling Stone ranked Dare! in the top 100 albums of the 1980s, describing it as “an alluring synthesiser-soaked brand of rock, most remembered for its slick synthesisers, drum machines, dance rhythms and playable pop.”

Oakey, Joanne Catherall, and Susan Ann Sulley now make up The Human League. As well as hearing Dare! performed in full, Australian fans can expect to hear the band play other anthems and classic hits from their back catalogue.
