Level 42: World Machine 40th Anniversary Tour

Level 42: World Machine 40th Anniversary Tour, with special guest Roachford.

Level 42 are returning to Bournemouth with their brand new tour which will celebrate this landmark – and indeed breakthrough – album for Level 42, and the band will also, of course, be breaking out many of their classic era-defining hits.

World Machine was the album that changed everything for Level 42, and set them on the path to true super-stardom. Released in 1985, it was a hit both here and in the States, and has now been certified double Platinum. It was on this album, the band’s sixth, that arguably they nailed down the sound and the style that made them one of the biggest groups in the world. On this album they refined the funky pop fusion that had grown from their jazz roots – and had already brought them serious success – and truly made it their own. World Machine features the singles ‘Something About You’ (the band’s only American top 10 hit) and ‘Leaving Me Now’, and it showed the band’s progression in style and confidence that would lead to their massive ‘Running In The Family’ album the following year.

Mark King said, “I am so excited to be able to announce the World Machine 40th Anniversary Tour for 2025. As our amazing fans will know, ‘World Machine’ marked a turning point in the band’s career, not least in the international success the album gave us. So, I am looking forward to seeing you all out there next Autumn when we can romp through all those songs again together.”

Four decades on from the release of World Machine, Level 42 are still in demand the world over. This tour celebrates a great album, but is also an opportunity simply to witness one of the most popular and enduring British bands doing what they do best.
