The O2

Live Nation are proud to announce that Level 42 are set to mark their 30th Anniversary with a series of headline shows across the UK in 2010.

An enormous commercial success, the band took the '80's by storm with their brand of jazz funk driven by Mark King's trademark bass lines, and with their roots firmly set in the underground soul scene of the time they helped change the face of the music scene in Britain. 

Level 42 have released 14 studio albums, 7 live albums, and 6 compilation albums, had 18 top 40 singles, including Lessons In Love, Something About You, Leaving Me Now, Running in the Family and Hot Water, sold out Wembley for a total of 21 nights and sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide. Though the band stopped touring and recording in 1994, founding member and frontman Mark King continued under his own name and with his distinctive slap bass and song-writing style kept the loyal fan base happy. In 2001 he acquired the rights to the name 'Level 42' and took the band back out on the road again. The line-up of Level 42 for the 30th Anniversary tour is: Mark King bass/vocals, Mike Lindup keys/vocals, Nathan King guitar/vocals and Sean Freeman sax/vocals. 

Mark King commented, "I'm really looking forward to getting back out there with the guys again, particularly as it will mark our 30th anniversary, and to have enjoyed the success we did through the 1980s and early 90s it is made all the sweeter by knowing we can still get up there and deliver to the fans, so here's to 2010 - it'll be a blast!"
