Gary Numan to wrap up UK tour with Northampton Roadmender show

Gary Numan has announced a string of UK dates for March 2018, which includes a show at Northampton Roadmender.


Numan will play the venue on Sunday, March 25, 2018, the final date of the tour.

His current album Savage: Songs From A Broken World earned the best reviews of Gary’s career and entered the UK charts at No.2.

The British electro pioneer was also awarded the Inspiration Award for songwriting and composition at the Ivor Novellos this year.

Savage: Songs From A Broken World is an album with a narrative that’s set in an apocalyptic, post-global warming Earth in the not-too-distant future.

There is no technology left and most of the planet has turned to a desolate desert wasteland.
Food is scarce, water even more so and human kindness and decency are just a dim and distant memory.

Western and Eastern cultures have merged, more because of the need to simply survive than any feelings of greater tolerance or understanding. It’s a harsh, savage environment, as are the survivors who still roam across it.

While Numan was writing the record, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. It made sense to make him and his climate decisions the catalyst for the apocalypse theme of the album.


“The songs are about the things that people do in such a harsh and terrifying environment,” explains Numan. “It's about a desperate need to survive and they do awful things in order to do so, and some are haunted by what they've done.

"That desire to be forgiven, along with some discovered remnants of an old religious book, ultimately encourages religion to resurface, and it really goes downhill from there.”
