Dave Stewart will perform the songs of Eurythmics to mark the 40th anniversary of ‘Sweet Dreams’ but Annie Lennox will sit the tour out.

While Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox have performed together occasionally in the 21st century they haven’t toured together since the ‘Peace’ tour of 1999. That tour included shows in Australia. There previous tour to that was in 1989.
Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’ album was released in January 1983. Dave Stewart’s ‘Sweet Dreams’ tour will feature Eurythmics Greatest Hits and not the Sweet Dreams album.
His socials included a list of songs which is the setlist from the show completely missed the 1989 album ‘We Too Are One’ and the hits ‘Revenge’, ‘Don’t Ask My Why’, ‘The King and Queen of America’ and ‘Angel’.
The first album ‘In the Garden’ is likewise not mentioned but did not chart and had no hits, so that is understandable.
Also missing is the 1984 hit ‘Sexcrime’ from ‘1984 (For the Love of Big Brother).
