However, Moyet’s recent tour with her and Vince Clarke’s band, Yaz, set a precedent for her North American solo jaunt, which kicks off Oct. 5 in Toronto, Ontario. (See below for details.) Ticket sales were rabid for the short trip.

“It was incredible, actually,” Moyet said about the tour by Yaz, which is called Yazoo overseas. “It feels like I’ve been touring all year this year. But it’s been such a long time since I’ve managed to get out there that it’s quite a big deal for me.”

This tour marks Moyet’s first trip back to this side of the pond as a solo artist in 14 years. On the road in support of her latest album, “The Turn,” Moyet would have come to North America plenty of times, but visa problems and other issues got in the way. The timing for this trip is good, she said.

“I think, obviously, the Yazoo routing has raised promoter confidence, and that’s what you need,” she said. “From my perspective, I would have come a million times; it’s been really difficult to put it together.”
