Gary Numan's Machine Music Tour took place between 22 May and 3 June 2012, beginning at Leicester's O2 Academy and concluding at the Brighton Dome. The twelve-date itinerary covered four countries, bringing a career-spanning live show to audiences across the UK and beyond.
Rather than concentrating on a single studio album, the tour drew together songs from different stages of Numan's recording career. Early material such as "Bombers", "Down in the Park", "Cars" and "Are 'Friends' Electric?" appeared alongside later recordings including "Dominion Day", "Rip", "Healing" and "The Fall". The selection also revisited less frequently highlighted parts of his catalogue, reflecting the breadth of the Machine Music concept.
The tour offered a retrospective of Numan's changing sound, from the electronic recordings that established his reputation to the heavier, darker work of subsequent decades. The song and album statistics below document the repertoire represented across the twelve performances and provide a snapshot of this distinctive period in his live history.
