Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy and bassist David J are to reunite for a tour of their debut In the Flat Field. They’ll play the record in full to celebrate the band’s 40th anniversary, with dates in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, plus more to be announced. They’ll also play other “Bauhaus classics” at the shows, according to a press release. Find the tour dates at Peter Murphy’s website. Bauhaus vinyl reissues are slated for release later this year. David J said of the tour in a statement:

“This is NOT a Bauhaus reunion / tour but rather two of the founding members, namely Peter and myself stepping out (in our 40th anniversary year. My, how time flies!) with two other excellent and enthusiastic musicians (John Andrews and Marc Slutsky on guitar and drums respectively) in order to celebrate the glory that was, is and shall be forever more!”
