Dave Stewart Plans Solo Tour

"I'm excited to play live in England again," Stewart says. "It's been a long time, and to kick off in my hometown the day my new album is released will be a golden moment for me."

The tour kicks off September 3 with a special homecoming show at the Empire Theatre in Stewart's Sunderland hometown and includes stops in Birmingham, Manchester and London.

While in London, Stewart will also shoot a private performance at The Hospital Club on September 6.

Stewart will perform songs with his band from his upcoming album (which comes out in September) as well as material from his 2011 album The Blackbird Diaries and other solo works.

He will also perform some of hits with the Eurythmics and other artists. Stewart recently toured with Sugarland in America in April and will do so again in August.
