Eight months after the release of his latest solo album Olympia, occasional Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry is embarking on a mammoth tour this summer and fall that will take him to Israel and all across the U.K. and Europe — plus the smooth crooner’s set to play his first U.S. dates since 2003.
Fan site VivaRoxyMusic.com reports that Ferry will perform 10 concerts in the U.S. later this year, although so far only eight dates have emerged: shows in Miami; Atlanta; Bethesda, Md.; Montclair, N.J.; New York City; Chicago; Oakland, Calif.; and Los Angeles, all set for late September and the first half of October (see full dates below).
Those shows follow an extensive summer tour that opens next Wednesday in Tel Aviv and hits the U.K., Russia and a wide swath of Europe before wrapping up Sept. 21 in Budapest.
