From Eternity to Here – 40th Anniversary Tour

Level 42 will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of their first ever single ‘Love Meeting Love’ [which was recorded and released in 1980] in 2020 and will do so with all cylinders firing and sounding fresher than ever. AEG Presents is delighted to announce that the band will undertake the 24-date ‘From Eternity To Here’ UK tour in 2020. Tickets will be on sale from 10:00am on Friday 25 October 2019 via aegpresents.co.uk & https://www.level42.com

The ‘From Eternity To Here’ UK tour will see the band play the length and breadth of the country. After everything that they have achieved, they have no interest in slowing down. “No way!” says bassist and frontman Mark King; “Touring with the band this year has been about as much fun as I can remember having had on the road and, if you had asked me back in 1980 if I thought we would be selling out theatres around the world when I was sixty years old, I probably would have laughed! Hand on heart, this year has been amazing. Re-invention can be a wonderful thing!” Mark King is a musician who has truly created a sound and style all of his own and is in constant demand, both from the fans and from his peers – he’s just been announced as a special guest on Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins’ forthcoming record.

Level 42 is a band with nothing to prove, but all the desire to continue their run at the top. To date the band and Mark have released 14 studio albums, 7 live albums, the Sirens’ EP, and 6 compilation albums, had 18 top 40 singles, including the era-defining ‘Lessons in Love’, ‘Something About You’, ‘Leaving Me Now’, ‘Running in the Family’, and ‘Hot Water’, sold out Wembley Arena for a total of 21 nights and sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide. In short, they have proven to be one of the most successful British bands ever and, with the recent re-issues of the band’s vast catalogue on Universal Music, and the ‘Collected’ series on CD and Vinyl, it is clear they continue to set the benchmark for British Jazz Funk. The ‘Eternity Tour DVD 2018’ is available at www.level42.com

The ‘From Eternity To Here’ UK tour in 2020 is a chance for the band’s fans to celebrate the fortieth anniversary and check in once again with a truly class act: Level 42 continue to set the standard. Don’t miss them.

Very sad news…

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to tell you of the passing of our dear friend and brother Boon Gould.
Dorset Police confirmed that he was found dead at his home on Tuesday morning.
You are at peace now Boon, no more pain mate.
Thank you for everything.

LEVEL 42 – ETERNITY TOUR 2018

Hit makers Level 42 will embark on a 19-date Eternity Tour of the UK in October 2018 following last year’s sell-out shows in the UK and Europe. The dates will also feature special guests The Blow Monkeys.

Mark King, front man and bassist, said:

“We can’t wait to get on the road again in the UK in 2018, it’s always such a hoot, and our fans are always a joy to play to. The band is ever evolving, and reinvention, both musically and in the way we present ourselves, has become something of a tradition for Level. The Eternity Tour will be a chance for us to showcase this once again, and we’ll be playing all our best material as well as some new tracks, and maybe a few deeper cuts too. We are also very happy to welcome The Blow Monkeys as special guests for the tour, how cool is that!”

AEG Presents presale starts at 9am on Thurs 26 October aegpresents.co.uk

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Fri 27 October at aegpresents.co.uk
