OMD

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (or rather the shortened OMD) is coming to the Varsity Theater on July 22. This is a long way from now, but hopefully, if it all works out, I will be at that show.…



O.M.D.

First Avenue

Sun 03/18/2018 (7pm/$30)

We were actually meant to see Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (or shortened to O.M.D.) in 2013, but due to U.S. Visa issues, the band had to bail out of that tour. Now with their 13th studio album The Punishment Of Luxury (White Noise Records) the 80s synth-pop band will be returning to Minneapolis this March 18th.



As a special bonus, the band is offering a special VIP experience on all U.S. shows. You can finally meet the band, attend their soundcheck and receive exclusive merchandise – including a signed set list of the show they are attending. It will make for an unforgettable night.



Ggoolldd to open. DJ Jake Rudh (from Transmission) will play some synthy 80s music videos before and between sets.
