Due to public demand, Adam Ant will be performing his classic album ‘DIRK WEARS WHITE SOX’ in it’s entirety for four nights at the Islington Assembly Hall London on November 20, 22 and 23.

Special guest support personally chosen by Adam Ant, comes from some of the UK’s most exciting new artists – Telegram, Night Engine, The Computers and The Caezars. Opening acts include: Brandy Row, Fjokra, The Savage Nomads and Vive La Pink.

It follows Adam's successful concert at the Eventim Hammersmith Apollo in April 2014 when the pop icon performed his debut album live for the first time in 35 years.

Dirk Wears White Sox was released on November 30, 1979, and was a big surprise to fans and media alike, in it's diversity and lyrical content which included subjects such as fetishism, art history, and historical figures, particularly Cleopatra and John F. Kennedy. It gained a massive cult following and was the first number one album on the UK Independent Chart.
