REGENERATION TOUR 2010 IDEAS?

As it looks like a fall tour is not in the cards, I keep hope alive for a Regeneration Tour 2010. How may it look:

REGENERATION TOUR 2010

Kajagoogoo with Limal
Heaven 17
Men Without Hats
Dead or Alive
China Crisis

Alternatives: Alphaville, Go West, Kim Wilde, Altered Images, Visage

Best of luck Rick, I hope you try this again!

Hi! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I'm having a real hard time coming up with a lineup for 2010 that will inspire promoters to purchase the show and fans to buy tickets. We've bandied about lots of names and all are great middle acts... Kajagoogoo, Alphaville, China Crisis, are all still alive in our minds but all the others you mentioned I'd not hold my breath on. i had a great conversation with Mike Peters of The Alarm a week ago after running into him in September here. He'd love to do it and i can envision putting together a more rock-oriented show around them rather than the more new wave-y ones of past but I'm still stuck trying to put a strong bill around them. The problem is finding acts of that era who have not been playing around the states on a regular basis or preferably someone who has not toured in a decade or two. I'd love to have a line-up together before Christmas.

Any chance OMD would consider being a headliner. I think OMD & Kaja together with some support from China Crisis & Alphaville would be an exiting bill for fans of the era (none of the 4 have played the US in years), not sure about promoters. Thanks for considering doing this again, hope it can come together - jpw

also.
I love Mike Peters, having seen him solo and with the Alarm - I would have to say that a New Wave Rock tour may be a really good idea.
could include any of the following:

The Alarm/Mike Peters
Spear of Destiny/Kirk Brandon
Flesh For Lulu
Gene Loves Jezebel (Jay Ashton & original members version)
The Cult
Mission UK
Stray Cats
The Damned/Captain Sensible
Dead Men Walking
Midnight Oil
Mission Of Burma
Wall of Voodoo/Stan Ridgway
Pere Ubu
Devo

i'd love to see:

dead or alive
howard jones
bananarama
thompson twins
omd

i got to see most of last years show from the balcony at a friends condo.

we watched the pride parade and then the bands on the wellesley stage. it was weird to watch from so high up but we had a blast. abc were fantastic.

sadly, OMD did not tour in north america last year.

I won't rehash what's already been mentioned, but how about:

LEVEL 42 (my first choice)
THE CALL
THE PRODUCERS
MIDNIGHT OIL
DRAMARAMA

Last summers Los Angeles Tour was AWESOME! I can't wait for 2010's summer tour. Here are some suggestions for bands in the future. Hopefully near future.
Gary Numan
Bow Wow Wow
Love & Rockets (Daniel Ash is awesome)
Josie Cotton

The wife and I have tickets for both A-HA shows in L.A. CAN'T WAIT!
Frank

I didn't read through all the posts but my ideas for 2010 would be

Thompson Twins
Kim Wilde
Kajagoogoo
Level 42
Sheena Easton
Dead or Alive
Howard jones


And Please Come to Dallas TX area this year!!! We missed youlast year ..we have so many great venues Nokis,American Airlines,Superpages.com...and many many more

I've been keeping my fingers crossed for any news regarding a 2010 tour.

I'm praying that Go West, Roxette, and The Outfield get included on this tour and that it comes through Hampton Roads, Virginia.

*still crossing fingers*

Alphaville....please!

and any combination of:

the Human League, once again
Flock of Seagulls, again
Ultravox
Visage
Kajagoogoo
Devo
ABC, again
Men Without Hats
Psychedlic Furs
