The Human League for Vicar St. in May

They also have a new album, Credo, out on May 18th.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Mar 2011

Electropop legends The Human League have announced a May 1 stop-off in Vicar St., Dublin.

Tickets are €33.60 and go on sale on Wednesday.

Described in 1979 by David Bowie as “the sound of the future” – he wasn’t wrong – the Sheffield outfit have been cited as an influence by everyone from Robbie Williams and the Pet Shop Boys to Moby and Madonna.

Despite having comfy laurels to rest on, the League are still very much a going concerning with their soon-to-be-released Credo album showing young whippersnappers like La Roux and Hurts how it’s done.
