<b>September 16</b> in Miami, the outing brings the band to such cities as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Dallas and San Francisco plus two special performances at Irving Plaza in NYC, and many more. In cities where they performed
this spring, OMD will be playing a slightly different set of songs to keep the show fresh, but will still include all the hits and classic fan favorites. Tickets are on sale now

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">OMD is touring in support of
<b><i>History of Modern</i></b><i>,</i> their first new album in over a decade. Released last fall via Bright Antenna/ILG, the album has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and continues to receive overwhelming praise.
<b><i>Interview Magazine</i></b> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">calls it “a</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif""> forward-thinking but nostalgic visit to OMD's synth-y past….they are as influential
as the band's contemporaries—Numan, Depeche Mode, even Joy Division,” and the <b>
<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> states “their updates of Kraftwerk's and Can's analog wrangling still sound like tomorrow.”
<span style="color:black">The album was self-produced by OMD and mixed by one of the UK’s most in demand producers
<b>Mike Crossey</b> (Artic Monkeys/Blood Red Shoes/Razorlight).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">It's nearly thirty years since
<b>OMD</b> first harnessed their creative and commercial powers, and 2010’s return with
<b><i>History of Modern</i></b> proves they still have a way with a warm melody and interesting lyric. Their latest effort is a powerful, pulsating, vibrant testament to their shared pop sensibility. The 13-song collection contains classic
<b>OMD</b> songs that invoke their pioneering and influential electronic roots. Many of today’s electro artists such as LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Mark Ronson, The XX, MGMT and The Killers have repeatedly cited
<b>OMD</b> as a massive inspiration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
