Following the huge success of the band’s two dates in August, which were organised by Friars Aylesbury, they will return in September 2016.

But fans had better be quick, because the shows are the only two that the band will play in the whole of 2016.

The August dates were the first proper shows that the band had played since the 1980s, and they chose to start their European tour at Friars.

Festivities at the Waterside started with an exclusive warm-up show before the two night residency.

Friends and family turned out to see the band, including Kate Bush who made a surprise appearance.

Friars promoter David Stopps, said: “The shows in August were among the best that Friars has ever presented in its long 46 year history.
