This year marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of Bauhaus. The gold standard of gothic formed in 1978 and went on to release four massively influential, impressive, and magnificently dark experimental albums which cemented their place and importance in music history before disbanding in 1983.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary, original Bauhaus members Peter Murphy and David J will hit the road for a global tour which will see the legends perform the band's debut album In The Flat Field in full along with an extended encore of Bauhaus classics. The first leg of the tour has been announced and will kick off in October. North American dates are expected to eventually be announced once Murphy's visa issues have been ironed out with the U.S. government. [As it stands now, Murphy has rescheduled his San Francisco solo residency at least 4 times over the last year, with the residency now scheduled for March 2019.]
Meanwhile Murphy has revealed on his website that a series of Bauhaus albums will be reissued later this year on colored vinyl. Details on the reissues have not yet been announced.
