Midge Ure Comes to Milton Keynes
Man of Two Worlds Tour at Milton Keynes Theatre 4th June
Acclaimed musician, producer and songwriter Midge Ure is set to embark on his visionary A Man Of Two Worlds Tour this May and June 2026, with additional dates now added for November due to demand. The tour marks a bold new live chapter and coincides with the release of his brand-new studio album, A Man Of Two Worlds, arriving on 8 May, the opening night of the tour.
Anticipation has continued to build around what promises to be one of the most distinctive shows of his career. Rather than delivering a straightforward greatest-hits set, Ure has conceived A Man Of Two Worlds as a seamless and immersive concert experience, blending classic tracks and fan favourites with cinematic instrumental pieces to create a continuous musical narrative.
Released on the first night of the tour, the album is Ure’s first collection of new material in 12 years. Divided into two halves, eight instrumental compositions and eight vocal songs, the record mirrors the concept of the live show. While it stands as a powerful statement in its own right, it also provides the creative backbone of the tour, with new material sitting naturally alongside the classics.
Midge explains:
“Almost every album I’ve made over the past 40+ years has featured at least one instrumental track. For this album I wanted to explore that further, showing two sides of what I do. The Man Of Two Worlds Tour reflects this idea, combining instrumentals I’ve written over the years with songs, album tracks and fan favourites side by side, taking the audience on a journey.”
The tour follows a remarkable run of live activity in recent years, including a sold-out 70th birthday celebration at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2023 and an extensive UK tour in 2024. Continually evolving as a performer, Ure once again challenges expectations with a production that balances reflection with reinvention.
Few artists can claim such creative longevity. From his glam rock days with Slik, through the punk-tinged energy of The Rich Kids (alongside Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols), to defining the sound of the ’80s with Ultravox and Visage, Midge Ure has consistently been at the forefront of innovation. His role in co-writing and producing the global anthem “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and helping orchestrate Live Aid remains one of the most significant moments in modern music history.
With Ivor Novello, Grammy, and BASCAP awards to his name and a legacy of gold and platinum selling records, Ure now brings fans something completely new.
