After 2024's 'Key' album prompted a rediscovery of her solo catalogue and her first Top 10 chart position in eleven years, Alison Moyet now announces details of a unique UK and European headline tour which starts in September 2026. The tour will consist exclusively of songs from the Yazoo catalogue and select tracks from her acclaimed solo electronica albums 'the minutes' and 'Other'.

While a handful of Yazoo hits are staples of Alison's live sets, much of the band's material has rarely been performed outside of their two brief tours (their 1982 breakthrough and their 2008 'Reconnected' reunion). This is a unique opportunity to experience songs live that propelled their phenomenal yet short-lived run, which encompassed the seminal album 'Upstairs At Eric's' (certified Platinum in both the UK and US) and their parting release 'You And Me Both' (#1 in the UK).

Additionally, the tour will also feature select songs from Alison's critically lauded solo LPs 'the minutes' (2013) and 'Other' (2017). Both albums, produced by and predominantly co-written with Guy Sigsworth, were emphatically received as triumphant creative returns to electronica making them the perfect partners for this tour.

Alison says, "Many years touring the same pool of songs and I am keen for a palate refresher. Specifying which years I will be fishing from too, I think is a grand way to serve pot luck for specific tastes. No bones..."
