Pete Tong kicks off the new decade with a nine-date tour of the UK’s finest clubs. 2009 was a year of heavy international touring for Tong – the US, Europe, Australia, Singapore, an amazing summer with his weekly Wonderland at Eden night in Ibiza – with guests including Lady Gaga, Deadmau5, Luciano and Fatboy Slim, his MoS London Wonderland residency and hosting a Wonderland tent at Rock Ness. On the musical tip, he switched his radio show to a new, later slot on Radio 1 (9-11pm on Fridays) breaking the boundaries at a later hour. He also remixed U2, Kings of Leon, Underworld and a saucy remix of Cheryl Cole, and was also the music supervisor for UK smash film Harry Brown.
Now it’s time to do what he loves most and connect with the UK’s clubland, with a nine-date UK tour throughout February and March:
February 5 – Asylum, Hull*
February 13 – Kellys, Portrush
February 19 – Sankeys, Manchester*
February 20 – Liquid, Cardiff
February 26 – The Plug, Sheffield*
February 27 – Dakota, Cheltenham
March 12 – The Source Bar, Maidstone
March 13 – Syndicate, Bristol
March 20 – Wonderland, Ministry Of Sound, London
*He’ll also be broadcasting his Radio 1 show live from the BBC studios in Hull, Manchester and Sheffield’
Following the tour, Tong will return to Ibiza for 15 dates with Wonderland at Eden (opening party 25th June – closing party 1st October), his residency at MoS in London has four more shows planned for the year, and he’ll be busy working on music for an EP release, as well as new remixes . He’ll also be scoring more movies, extensively touring the USA and South America and running his ‘Pete Tong Music’ company.
