Adam Ant begins North American Tour

For the first time in 17 years, Adam Ant will perform live west of the Atlantic Ocean as he starts his 2012 North American tour on September 13^th. He and his band, The Good, The Mad and The Lovely Posse, will play 22 dates on the swing through October 20^th , which will include stops in sunny Orlando, Chicago’s Cubby Bear and party bingo capital Las Vegas.

Anticipating fans had to wait longer than they first expected to see Ant live in the US, as he had to postpone his original dates earlier in the year due to production setbacks while trying to record new music. Recently, Ant announced that he will be available for special VIP “Meet and Greet” options after his shows in New York City, San Francisco and Anaheim.

Ant scored several international hits as both a solo artist and frontman for Adam and the Ants, including “Ant Music,” “Stand and Deliver” and “Strip.”
