Stewart will launch the Eurythmics Songbook Tour this fall
Dave Stewart, the award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, producer, innovator and Eurythmics co-founder, is set to captivate audiences across Europe once again as he announces Eurythmics Songbook: Sweet Dreams 40th Anniversary Tour. Featuring Stewart alongside an all-female band of virtuoso singers and musicians, the tour promises to take fans on a nostalgic and electrifying musical journey spanning four decades of the iconic musical partnership’s groundbreaking hits.
The trek spans Europe in November with stops in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, and others, including a hometown show in Sunderland UK.
Celebrating a remarkable 40 years since the release of the timeless “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This),” Eurythmics, known for their unique blend of synth-pop, new wave, soul and rock, have sold over 75 million albums worldwide since their 1980’s debut and have become enduring icons of popular music.
Following a highly acclaimed one-off Eurythmics Songbook show at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2019 and with the blessing of musical partner Annie Lennox, who no longer tours, Stewart has decided to take the show on the road.
The duo, who still come together for one-off performances, such as for their induction last year into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, are delighted to be celebrating this landmark anniversary of “Sweet Dreams” and Stewart is relishing the chance to play a carefully curated selection of timeless hits from their extraordinary catalog of songs, live on tour for the first time in over 20 years.
“I love playing live shows and am so excited to be onstage with this amazing lineup of musicians and singers most of whom I have performed with on many occasions,” Stewart says. “My great friend Vanessa Amorosi an Australian legend known for her powerful vocal prowess, RAHH a brilliant artist/singer from Warrington with whom I’ve recorded and performed with for nearly 10 years and my daughter (Annie’s goddaughter) Kaya Stewart who was singing ‘There Must Be An Angel’ on Annie’s knee since she was five years old and since 14 years old has performed hundreds of solo shows wowing crowds with her very soulful and emotional voice. Choosing a band that is all outstanding female musicians led by the brilliant keyboardist Hannah Koppenburg is my way of paying homage to my great friend and collaborator Annie Lennox.”
The tour is set to be a fitting testament to the enduring impact of Eurythmics’ music and the duo’s lasting influence on the global music landscape.
Eurythmics Songbook: Sweet Dreams 40th Anniversary Tour promises an unforgettable experience, featuring state-of-the-art production and visuals, and a myriad of mega-hits including: “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” “Here Comes The Rain Again,” “Love Is A Stranger”, “Would I Lie To You”, “Missionary Man” and “There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart).”
