Clear Channel Entertainment will promote Peter Gabriel's first North American tour in nearly 10 years commencing November 5 in Atlanta, GA in support of his new studio album, UP (Geffen). Dubbed the Growing Up Live tour, it will feature a spectacular multi-tiered center stage production using hydraulics that was developed by director/designer Robert Le Page, who designed Gabriel's 1993 Secret World Live Tour. The tour will cover 20-22 cities, and Gabriel will perform new material from UP along with many of his favorite hits. There will also be an opening act to be named later. Tickets are priced from $130-$45. Gabriel will donate $1 of every ticket will go to Witness, a human rights organization he co-founded.
Witness focuses on strengthening the work of local human rights advocates by providing them with communications technology.
On his newest album, UP, Gabriel explores the theme of vertical design (up and down) as it affects our daily lives. He draws upon the influences of the moon and water to provide a backdrop for forces at work above and beneath our normal focus.
Gabriel's band includes: David Rhodes – guitars; Richard Evans – guitars, mandolin and others; Tony Levin – bass; Rachel Z – keyboards; Ged Lynch – drums and percussion; and his daughter Melanie Gabriel – additional vocals.
