Are Gary Numan shows still electric?  Well his show at the O2 Institute was nothing short of electrifying.

The legendary synth pioneer delivered an intense and immersive set that celebrated his classic albums “Replicas” and The Pleasure Principal”.

The  combination of atmospheric lighting, futuristic visuals, and Numan’s commanding stage presence transported the audience into a world of dark, industrial soundscapes. His band was tight, and the crowd’s energy was palpable, feeding off Numan’s passion.

Highlights included fan favourites like “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” and “Cars,” but it was his newer material that showcased his continued evolution as an artist.

Overall, it was a masterclass in both innovation and nostalgia, proving Gary Numan’s enduring influence in the world of electronic music.
