The starting point of Gary Numan’s first major tour. The Touring Principle opened at Glasgow Apollo Theatre on 20 September 1979, giving the venue a particularly important place in the beginning of his major concert touring history.
Three consecutive Electric Ballroom shows marked a major numerical milestone in the Numan Discography concert archive. The performances on 13, 14 and 15 April were documented concerts No. 998, No. 999 and No. 1,000, with the final night becoming the landmark 1,000th documented Gary Numan concert.
The most frequently played venue in the Numan Discography archive. Gary Numan first appeared here for two nights on The Touring Principle in September 1979, returned for four consecutive Teletour shows in 1980, and continued to revisit the venue across numerous tours through to the Telekon 45th Anniversary Tour in 2025.
