Gang of Four have announced a run of North American tour dates in support of their 77-81 box set, performing songs from that era. They’ll start in Minneapolis on March 1 before concluding in Vancouver near the end of the month. See the dates below.
The band’s lineup will include founders Jon King and Hugo Burnham, with David Pajo joining the group on guitar. Bassist Dave Allen will not appear, citing personal reasons, though he “remains an essential and vital part of the band,” according to a press release. 1980s-era bassist Sara Lee will return to tour with the group instead.
Following the death of founding guitarist Andy Gill in February 2020, the band issued two EPs featuring some of his final recordings. Tom Morello, Serj Tankian, Helmet, Warpaint, and more contributed to a tribute album in Gill’s honor released in May 2021.
