Originally billed with double headline acts of Gary Numan and John Foxx & The Maths performing as Pioneers of British Electronic Music. Unfortunately John Foxx had to cancel his appearance resulting in Gang of Four guesting as the support band.

A bizarre venue layout; all on one level with the standing fans situated behind the seated audience. However, Gary Numan (and band) filled the arena with a blend of electronic classics and new material from his forthcoming ‘Savage’ album, some of which was performed live for the first time at this gig. A preview of heavier post-apocalyptic things to come . . .

Setlist: Everything Comes Down to This / Films / Bed of Thorns / Metal / Pressure / Ghost Nation / Jagged / M.E. / We’re the Unforgiven / Mercy / A Prayer for the Unborn / Here in the Black / My Name is Ruin (with Persia) / Cars / When the World Comes Apart / Love Hurt Bleed // Down in the Park / Are ‘Friends’ Electric?
