Boy George is leaving Broadway and returning to the road.
The ’80s icon, who ends his three-month run as bold club owner Harold Zidler in the Tony Award-winning musical “Moulin Rouge!” on May 12, announced he’s embarking on a co-headlining tour with Squeeze this August and September.
Near the end of their 20-concert nationwide run, the duo will drop into Atlantic City’s Tropicana Showroom on Saturday, Sept. 14 and New York City’s Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
According to American Songwriter, the groups “will alternate closing sets for the tour.”
Can’t wait to sing along to “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me” and “Tempted” at the same show this summer?
If that’s the case, tickets can be picked up for all Boy George and Squeeze shows as soon as today on sites like Vivid Seats. The official on-sale is Friday, May 3.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Boy George new music
This year, Boy George dropped a pair of singles.
First up, was his snazzy, disco-y “Electric Energy” collaboration with Nile Rodgers and Ariana DeBose for the film “Argylle.”
Then, on April 5, he released the anthemic “Them There Crows,” complete with beat drops and gnarly guitar riffs.
Both tracks can be found here.
Squeeze new music
Most recently, Squeeze put out a pair of “Best of Squeeze” live albums.
However, we were most taken with their quirky 2022 EP “Food For Thought.”
Make sure to check out the funky “The Very First Dance” and hard-charging “Electric Trains” if you haven’t listened to the band lately; for our money, this pair of jams is a welcome addition to their already impressive canon.
You can hear “Food For Thought” in its entirety here.
