R.E.M. on Tour Live in HK
R.E.M. CONFIRMS MARCH DATE IN HONG KONG
THEIR ONE AND ONLY SHOW IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA
Lushington Limited is proud to announce the arrival of R.E.M. in Hong Kong on 20th March for their one and only show in South-East Asia as part of their world tour in 2005. Tickets are priced at HK$388, HK$488, HK$688 and HK$888 and will go on sale on the 16th December 2004 at all HK Ticketing and Tom Lee outlets.
R.E.M. - Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills - will perform hits spanning their twenty five year career consisting of anthemic ballads and rock tracks, alongside songs from their new album Around The Sun.
Formed in 1980 in Athens, Georgia, R.E.M. emerged with a unique combination of rock, underground garage rock and folk, and intelligent, post punk coupled with Michael Stipe's poetic, sometimes oblique lyrics. Their full length debut album Murmur was voted Rolling Stone's best album of 1983, beating Michael Jackson Thriller. Landmark albums followed like Out of Time which launched hits such as Losing My Religion and Shiny Happy People and the album Automatic For the People which produced the anthemic ballads Man On The Moon, and Everybody Hurts.
Their disparate influences combined to create music that has inspired countless alt-rock bands from Radiohead to Nirvana, from The White Stripes to Travis, and earned the band accolades as the Greatest Band in the World and the Most Important Rock Band on the Planet. Music critics hold them responsible for shaping the entire American alternative rock scene as we know it.
With over 52 millions albums sales worldwide, R.E.M. continues to push the boundaries on their thirteenth career album Around The Sun, presenting music with an immediacy and intensity that stands with the band's most solid and assured work. With their lush guitars, poetic lyrics and Stipe's remarkable voice, the album has sold in excess of 1.7million copies worldwide and attained gold status in Hong Kong.
This follows the success of their greatest hits album In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 released last year, which achieved platinum status in Hong Kong, and sold over 4 million albums worldwide.
Don't miss the musical mastery of R.E.M. in this one night only extravaganza at Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention centre on the 20th March 2005.
