Gary Numan will be appearing at the Forum Hertfordshire in Hatfield

ONE of electronic rock music’s most influential artists will be appearing live at the Forum Hertfordshire on Sunday.

Gary Numan stops off at the Hatfield music venue just a day after appearing at the Nightmare Before Christmas All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in Minehead, Somerset.

Following his chart-topping success in the ’70s with Are ‘Friends’ Electric? and Cars, Numan has influenced a host of bands and singers as diverse as Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Magnetic Man, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.

And an ever-growing list of artists have covered and sampled his music, ranging from Basement Jaxx to Damon Albarn and the Sugababes to RZA and GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan.
