The Human League have expanded their Australian tour with extra shows added for Sydney and Melbourne.
1981’s ‘Dare’ was The Human League’s biggest album reaching number one in the UK and number three in Australia and the USA.
‘Dare’ was the third album for The Human League but first following the departure of founders Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh who left to form British Electric Foundation.
‘Dare’ featured an all-new Human League line-up with the remaining co-founders bringing in Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley on vocals and Jo Callis and Ian Burden on synthesizers.
With Philip, Susan and Joanne on vocals, The Human League merged the electronic sound of their origins with a new pop flavour.
The result was an album with three Top 40 hits ‘Love Action’ (no 12, Aus), ‘Open Your Heart’ (no 33, Aus) and ‘Don’t You Want Me’ (no 4, Aus).
