Yoko, Clapton, Voorman: Plastic Ono Band

Launched in 1969 by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with the single "Give Peace a Chance", the Plastic Ono Band is known worldwide for its avant-garde music, film, art and activism. 40 years later, Yoko has revived the name and spirit of Plastic Ono joined by son and co-producer Sean Lennon along with the creative Japanese musicians Haruomi Hosono, Yuka Honda and Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada, Hirotaka Shimizu and Yuko Araki). 

 

Between My Head And The Sky was released under the Plastic Ono Band banner in September and garnered impressive critical acclaim - you can read the exclusive BLURT interview with Yoko and Sean here.

 On Tuesday, February 16, Yoko will perform a very special concert featuring the "new" Plastic Ono Band, along with original members Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman and Jim Keltner, plus an intriguing cast of special guests, friends & accomplices that include Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, Martha Wainwright, Paul Simon, Harper Simon, the Scissor Sisters, Bette Midler, Mark Ronson and Justin Bond (along with the above-mentioned musicians).
