Gary Numan

“I’ll be going out on a North American tour with two legendary bands, Ministry and Front Line Assembly, straight after the London shows in April,” says Gary Numan in a recent news release. “These are primarily Ministry shows with FLA and me as guests. However, I’ll also be playing several of my own headline gigs in amongst the Ministry shows,” says Numan. So it is quite possible he may play his own headline show in Toronto around the same time if he cab squeeze it in ahead of his spring North American tour. We will have it here ion TOtimes if the announcement does drop.
