Vince Clarke and Andy Bell founded the group Erasure in 1985. In the 40 years that have passed since their first album Wonderland was released, Erasure has never broken up and has never taken a hiatus. The title of Erasure's 20th album has officially been announced as Radio!! Radio!!. The new album moves away from the synthetic sounds of the 2020 album The Neon, turning instead toward piano and guitar.

Changes will take place during the new tour. Vince Clarke will not be on stage for the performances. Clarke will instead serve as musical director remotely, while keyboard technician Howard Rider will be on keyboards. Earlier in his career, Vince Clarke was one of the co-founders of Depeche Mode, and he later formed the band Yazoo with Alison Moyet.

Erasure won the award for best British group at the 1989 Brit Awards. Between the years 1987 and 1991, the list of hits by Erasure included Ship of Fools, Chains of Love, Stop!, Drama!, Blue Savannah, Chorus, and Love to Hate You.
