The Parallel Lines 30th Anniversary Tour was a 2008 worldwide concert tour by Blondie both to promote the 30th anniversary re-release of their ground-breaking 1978 album Parallel Lines, and to celebrate the longevity and success of the album.
[1] Concerts were held in North America and Europe with a single stop in Israel.
[3][4] A live performance of all or most of the Parallel Lines album, in its original order, opened each concert.
These tracks were followed by a selection of songs from Blondie's back catalog, Deborah Harry's solo album Necessary Evil which was released the previous year, the 2008 non-album single "Fit Right In", and covers.
The tour marked Blondie's first performances in Israel and Russia, and the arrival of band member Matt Katz-Bohen on keyboards.
