ALAN VEGA

Live at the Roundhouse 16th June

New album – Station - out now
The legendary Alan Vega plays a rare UK solo date on June 16th at London’s Roundhouse.
There cannot be many artists about whom it can be said that, after 37 years on the musical frontline, they are making their most vitally impassioned and fiercely radical music to date. Such is the case with Alan Vega and his new solo album, Station. Five years in the making, Vega’s 10th solo release is a blistering statement of intent from a rock’n’roll shaman whose work has always stretched parameters, managing to defy expectations at every turn.

As Vega himself says, “Station represents a kind of culmination point for me. It gathers up many of the elements that have been in my previous work and takes them all the way. In some ways, it’s my most truthful record in that I’m now at the age where it’s easier for me to listen to my own heart-beat and act on it creatively.”


Vega presents Station Live at Roundhouse Freedom Room, Camden, London.
£7 - No Advance tickets
8pm - 11pm
