Three British acts are joining forces for a nostalgia-driven trek across North America.

Revealed today, The Alarm, The Blow Monkeys and Belouis Some will embark on a trek across the country starting on May 1 at New Orleans’ House of Blues. Tour dates can be seen below. Additional dates will be added soon. Pre-sale tickets will go live next Wednesday (January 24). Tickets will go on sale to the general public next Friday (January 26).

Mike Peters of The Alarm said this about the trek:

“This tour will be a chance for a generation of fans - both old and new - to step back into the future and celebrate a time that defined millions of people's life soundtracks when the era of Music Television ruled the earth. All our bands made an initial impact through the medium of music, but it was driven deeper into the hearts and imaginations of people all over North America via Music Television - a then brand new format that allowed bands from all across the globe to be both heard and seen, paving the way for a new generation of artists and fans of which had never been witnessed before.”

Dr. Robert of The Blow Monkeys said:

“We are thrilled to be returning to the States again. The music of America has been the soundtrack to our lives and in some ways we feel like we are coming home.”

Belouis Some also said:

““I’m really looking forward to getting out on the road again with such a cool line-up... playing to the best audiences in the world!"
