Vince Clarke and Andy Bell are certainly not showing any sign of putting one of pop's longest running musical friendships out to pasture anytime soon - recent album The Neon (their EIGHTEENTH!) earned them their first Top 5 album since 1994's I Say I Say I Say and has inspired them to head back out on the road, pandemic permitting.

They've also just released a new five-track collection called the Ne:EP featuring the insanely catchy lead-track Time (Hearts Full Of Love), as well as details of more arena tour-dates.

2022 will see Erasure charting a course across the northern half of the UK with a handful of shows in the spring, starting with Belfast on 10th May, followed by various Danish and German gigs before heading back to England and Scotland during the latter half of the month, including Aberdeen, Nottingham, Leeds, Hull and finally Liverpool.
