The releases follow a string of reissues in the last year from OMD including the limited 12” vinyl of their legendary anti-war hit single ‘Enola Gay’ as well as a limited reissue of the bands iconic debut single, ‘Electricity’, on 7” vinyl. 

OMD will also be touring the UK in November of this year. Fans are thrilled, with the band due to perform songs from their incredible album ‘Architecture & Morality’ and many other hits. As well as this, OMD are also hosting a livestream named ‘You Me & OMD’. This will be played at London’s Indigo at the O2 on June 19th.
