The 13-city tour begins on September 7 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and concludes on October 14 at the O2 Arena in London, including a stop at Madison Square Garden on September 12.
Roxy Music disbanded in 1983 after completing up a world tour in support of Avalon, their most popular record.
They got back together in 2001 to celebrate their 30th anniversary, and they continued to giggle infrequently for the next decade. (Founding keyboardist Brian Eno left the band in 1974 and did not appear at any of the reunion performances.)

In 2007, they attempted to record a new album, but it failed miserably. The band's most recent complete concert took place on March 6, 2011, at the A Day on the Green festival in Auckland, New Zealand.
They didn't say they were breaking up, but Manzanera told Rolling Stone in 2014 that they wouldn't be continuing. "

Their first performance since 2011 was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2019.
Despite the absence of Brian Eno and Paul Thompson, Ferry, Mackay, and Manzanera performed a six-song concert with members of Ferry's touring band.

Tawatha Agee, who traveled with the group in the early 1980s, does an outstanding job as the background singer on this track.
The background musicians for the next tour have yet to be disclosed, but Agee was on Ferry's most recent solo tour, so we're hoping she'll be returning for this Roxy run.
Who will play bass is also unknown.

During its original existence, the band passed through an incredible number of bassists, and longstanding Pink Floyd associate Guy Pratt appeared on the most recent Roxy Music tours.
In September, he'll be on the road with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets.
He appeared on Avalon and was reintroduced into the Roxy world for Ferry's Avalon tour in 2019.
Roxy Music has always had a stronger following in Europe than in America.
They never played larger venues in New York than Radio City Music Hall or the Palladium, even at the height of their career.
On December 8, 1972, they played their only Madison Square Garden show, opening for Jethro Tull on the Thick as a Brick tour.
"It's taken 50 years, but that "pretentious" The band that was met with "benign apathy" from Jethro Tull fans is making their MSG comeback as a headliner.
