Ultravox are a British new wave and synth-pop band formed in London in 1974 - originally under the name Tiger Lily - who rose to prominence in the early 1980s with frontman Midge Ure. Their 1980 album Vienna and its title single, which spent four weeks at #2 on the UK chart and won Single of the Year at the 1981 Brit Awards, defined the New Romantic era. The band recorded across two distinct phases: a first chapter led by vocalist John Foxx, and a second, commercially dominant run with Ure that produced albums including Rage in Eden, Quartet and Lament.
Ultravox released a Blank & Jones so80s Reconstruction remix of 'Love's Great Adventure' as a limited-edition 10" vinyl and CD single on Chrysalis Records.
A Deluxe Edition of 'The Collection' was announced for December 2025, featuring new Steven Wilson remixes and previously unreleased material.
An auction of items belonging to the late Chris Cross was held to benefit three youth music charities.
Ultravox marked the 40th anniversary of the album Lament with a special reissue, also paying tribute to the recently deceased Chris Cross.
Founding bassist Chris Cross (real name Chris Allen) died on March 25, 2024, at the age of 71; Midge Ure announced the news on April 1.
