The Buggles - The Lost Gig

Trevor Horn and Zang Tuum Tumb present The Buggles - The Lost Gig. As previously announced, Trevor has regrouped The Buggles and gathered some very special guests to perform their ground-breaking début album, The Age of Plastic in full for the first (and quite possibly only) time ever.

Date: 28th September 2010
Venue: supperclub london (12 Acklam Road, London W10 5QZ)
Time: 7.30pm (VIP), 9.30pm (gig only)
Tickets: £300 (VIP), £100 (gig only) from www.seetickets.com

A special venue for a special event: The Lost Gig will take place at supperclub london. Following renown venues in Amsterdam, LA and Istanbul, supperclub is an "experimental creative platform," which owner Bert van der Leden describes as "a mix of food, music, performance, art... an evening at supperclub has been successful when all your five senses have been tickled."

A special cause: This event is being staged exclusively to raise funds for the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. All proceeds both from The Lost Gig and accompanying online auction will be donated to the hospital. Active since 1854, the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability has a simple but very important mission: to add years to life and life to years.

Tickets: Two ticket options are available. VIP tickets (£300 + booking fee) include entry at 7.30pm for a three-course dinner, a bed from which to watch the show and the full supperclub experience of entertainers in advance of The Lost Gig. General admission tickets (£100 + booking fee) covers entry at 9.30pm for The Lost Gig only.

Strictly limited: with only 100 VIP tickets (many of which are already allocated) and 200 general admission tickets, please book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets go on sale from 9am on Saturday 28th August, exclusively through Seetickets. Click here to buy.

Trevor Horn: "The Buggles are finally going out to play our first live gig, only 30 years since we first got together... As part of The Lost Gig, we'll play The Age of Plastic in full for the first time, and I'll be joined by some special guests to help make this night a truly special evening... The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is a very special cause, one that's close to my heart, and I hope we can use this unique event to raise a great deal of money and to increase awareness for their great work."

We are thrilled to announce that Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark will perform as special guests for The Buggles' one-off fund-raising concert on 28 September 2010.

From Electricity to Pulse, from Maid of Orleans to Joan of Arc... From VCL XI to RFWK, from The New Stone Age to The New Dark Age... Via Souvenir, Enola Gay, Messages and If You Leave... From live performances with Winston in 1979 to live performances with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in 2009, OMD have spent the last thirty years the forefront of synth Britannia.

28 September 2010 will see Trevor Horn reconvene The Buggles for a never-to-be-repeated live performance in aid of the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability -- their first ever gig, more than thirty years after their début hit, Video Killed The Radio Star. And OMD will perform a special support set in a rare appearance in their original two-piece formation. VIP tickets for this special event are now sold out, and general tickets are selling fast. Click here for full date/time/location details, and click here to purchase tickets. Trevor Horn: "I think what Orchestral Manoeuvres have achieved over the last few decades - that fusion of pop and electronic experimentation - is unique. Both OMD and The Buggles released their début singles in September 1979, so there's another symmetry for them joining us on the 28th. I'm very grateful to Paul and Andy for agreeing to take part in this concert and I personally can't wait to watch their set."

The Buggles will play The Age of Plastic in full for the first - and quite possibly, only - time ever plus an assortment of hits from Trevor Horn's back catalogue and some tracks with special guest vocalists... Alison Moyet will join The Buggles on stage to perform a Yazoo classic, and a legendary Trevor Horn single, to be announced on the night.

Richard O'Brien will also join The Buggles for a couple of numbers and, as previously announced, OMD will play a special support slot and will be joined by their own special guest, Propaganda/Act/Onetwo's Claudia Brücken.

And we have one more special guest to announce... but we'll hold on to that secret for another 24 hours...
