Post-Punk Icon Adam Ant Announces Australian Tour This October

Post-punk icon Adam Ant has announced he will return to Australia this year for a very special headline run, in honour of the 35th anniversary of Adam & The Ants' 1980 album, Kings Of The Wild Frontier.

The UK frontman will perform the classic LP in its entirety and in sequence at gigs in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.

"I'm really looking forward to performing the Kings Of The Wild Frontier album live and in sequence plus my other favorite songs from the repertoire, in Australia," Ant said.

The album topped the UK Albums chart following its release and went on to achieve global recognition with tracks like Dog Eat Dog and Antmusic, which also spent five weeks at #1 on the Australian Singles chart. 

To coincide with the tour and anniversary, a newly remastered box set version of Kings Of The Wild Frontier is set to be released, which will also include items from Ant's extensive personal archive and a bonus DVD of the out-of-print Ants In Japan concert video.

Tickets for the shows go on sale this Friday (17 February).
