Boy George, with Culture Club, to perform at the Big Fresno Fair
Boy George has had an on-again, off-again relationship with his band Culture Club since the band’s breakup in the 1980s.
The relationship is on again.
George announced he’s performing with the band this summer on a tour that will stop in 40-plus cities with a final performance in Fresno. The band plays Oct. 5 at the Paul Paul Theater as part of The Big Fresno Fair’s concert lineup. Tickets for the show are $33-$48 and available to Big Fair Fan club members starting April 3. General sales start April 11.
George is playing with Culture Club’s three members (Roy Hay, Mikey Craig and Jon Moss) and fans are sure to hear (and sing along to) the hits (”Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” and “Karma Chameleon”). But George has said the band has new music and fans will get a preview on this tour, according to Rolling Stone.
This is the second artist announced to the fair’s lineup this year. Country singer (and Valley favorite) Jon Pardi will perform Oct. 9. Those tickets are $30-$45 and on sale now.
