LEVEL 42 are delighted to announce that they will embark upon The ‘World Machine’ 40th Anniversary Tour in 2025, which will visit 32 venues across the UK

LEVEL 42 are delighted to announce that they will add FOUR extra shows to the ‘World Machine’ 40th Anniversary Tour, which will now visit 32 UK venues this year. The new dates fall in November 2025, including a second London date at The London Palladium, following an already sold-out show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Other new shows include performances at Bexhill De La Warr Pavilion, Warwick Arts Centre (Butterworth Hall) and Derby Becketwell Live.

All of the shows will feature Special Guests, Roachford. The tour 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. Love to all, Mark X”

Four decades on from the release of ‘World Machine’, Level 42 are still in demand the world over. This UK 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.
