About LEVEL 42 – World Machine 40th Anniversary Tour
Level 42 is delighted to announce that they will embark upon The ‘World Machine’ 40th Anniversary Tour in 2025.
‘World Machine’ was the album that changed everything for Level 42, and set them on the path to true super-stardom. Released in 1985, it was a hit both here and in the States, and has now been certified double Platinum.
It was on this album, the band’s sixth, that arguably they nailed down the sound and the style that made them one of the biggest groups in the world. On this album, they refined the funky pop fusion that had grown from their jazz roots – and had already brought them serious success – and truly made it their own.
‘World Machine’ features the singles Something About You (the band’s only American top 10 hit) and Leaving Me Now, and it showed the band’s progression in style and confidence that would lead to their massive Running In The Family album the following year.
Mark King said, “I am so excited to be able to announce The ‘World Machine’ 40th Anniversary Tour for 2025. As our amazing fans will know, World Machine marked a turning point in the band’s career, not least in the international success the album gave us. So, I am looking forward to seeing you all out there next Autumn when we can romp through all those songs again together. Love to all, Mark X”.
Four decades after the release of ‘World Machine’, Level 42 is still in demand worldwide. This UK tour celebrates a great album but is also an opportunity to witness one of the most popular and enduring British bands doing what they do best.
