Muriel Kauffman Theatre
The Kauffman Center for Performing Arts is proud to kick off the 2017 – 2018 Kauffman Center Presents series with Blondie and Garbage: The Rage & Rapture Tour on July 18, 2017.
Blondie emerged in the late 1970s as one of the most successful punk bands of the era. Known for blending different styles of music, the group combined a pop base with disco, rock and hip-hop to make a sound all their own. In a career that spans decades, Blondie is known for hits including “Call Me,” “Heart of Glass” and “Rapture.” The band celebrated its 30th anniversary and were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
The rock group Garbage found its beginnings as a duo of Butch Vig and Steve Marker, before quickly adding Duke Erikson and lead singer Shirley Manson. Recognized for their distinct electronic pop sound, the group reached platinum status with hits such as “Only Happy When it Rains” and “Stupid Girl.” In the years to come, Garbage would release five more albums with their most recent, Strange Little Birds debuting in 2016.
Check out Blondie’s latest single, “Fun,” below, and get ready to rock when Blondie & Garbage: The Rage and Rapture Tour comes to the Kauffman Center on Tuesday, July 18.
