The Boy is back in town

JUNE 06, 2008

Is St. Petersburg, Fla., ready for Boy George? No matter the answer, because favorite cross-dressing-turned-felon has just announced he'll play Jannus Landing on July 27.

Pollstar.com has a full list of Boy George's latest tour dates, which is full of the usual House of Blues and Hard Rock stops. But an outdoor show in late July in Florida? Was this part of George's community service sentence?

It's not clear what Boy George is promoting on his current world tour -- his first in 10 years -- other than hopefully paying off what have to be enormous legal bills thanks to his random shenanigans. Still, you gotta figure he'll draw a decent crowd of the curious -- even if he just stands on stage and spins records.

Check out the message boards at Digital Spy for the latest fan talk about his live shows.
