Open your car door, because synth-pop OG Gary Numan has announced a new string of North American headlining dates, including a show in downtown St. Petersburg.

The 67-year-old android in la-la land has spent the last few years on tour with the likes of Ministry and The Psychedelic Furs, and before that, he put out a concept album called Intruder, which tells the tale of the earth fighting back against the inconsiderate-as-hell human race, having caused environmental turmoil.

With history in the midst of repeating itself, don’t be surprised if Numan heavily leans on material from his latest when he lands at Jannus Live this spring. But if the show is anything like his opening set for Ministry at the same space last year, you’ll probably go home feeling both nostalgic, and ready to take action.

Tickets to see Gary Numan play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Sunday, March 8 are on sale now for $50.64.
