The The is back! As part of the 2018 Comeback Special, the U.K. New Wave band has announced their first North American tour in 18 years, including an L.A. show at the Ford Theatres on Monday, September 24. Tickets for this show will go on sale Friday, April 6, at 12 p.m. via Ticketmaster for $65 to $85 each plus service fees.
Of the return, Matt Johnson explained in a press release: "My decision to come out of 'retirement' was triggered by personal events in my life. My older brother and long time collaborator Andy 'Dog' Johnson, who created many of the distinctive THE THE record sleeves over the years, passed away in January 2016. His death came in the middle of the filming of The Inertia Variations, a Swedish feature length documentary that was being made about me. Andrew's illness and subsequent death became a central part of the film and inspired me to write my first new song in many years, 'We Can't Stop What's Coming.' The whole situation caused me to reflect deeply about what I want to do with my life and so I decided to put a toe back in the water to feel the temperature."
