Boy George & Culture Club - Kissing to be clever & Colour by Numbers

In the organizer's words:

Boy George and Culture Club will be postponed to next year, 20.06.2025. Tickets already purchased remain valid.

They are back! After a number of worldwide hits, several break-ups and twice as many reunions, Culture Club will finally be back on stage together! The new wave group from the 80s reached the global top ten several times with their light, infectious pop soul.

Lead singer Boy George in particular attracted attention with his extravagant costumes and heavy make-up, giving Culture Club a huge media presence in America and the UK. The origins of the group lie with lead singer Boy George, who in his teenage years felt a strong connection to the glam rock of T.Rex and David Bowie. He tried out several bands until he finally met bassist Mikey Craig. The two formed the group "In Praise Of Lemmings", but then renamed it "Sex Gang Children" after guitarist Jon Suede joined. After Suede was replaced by Roy Hay, they finally formed Culture Club.

After several flops, they made their breakthrough with the single "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", which shot to the top of the charts in 1982. The band had long been the most popular pop/rock band in the USA and the UK when the album "Colour by Numbers" was released a year later and reached number 1 and 2 in the charts there. The single "Karma Chameleon" from this album became a number 1 hit on both sides of the Atlantic. After several released songs and a short tour, Culture Club announced their break-up in 1987.
