OMD will be reforming next year both for the purposes of live performances and also a new OMD album. Unfortunately it's too early to give definite plans, but the approximate timeline is for a series of warm-up gigs in the UK in September 2006, which may be expanded to include other countries in the mid-Autumn period. A fuller touring schedule (along with album release details) will be scheduled for Spring 2007.

The band line-up will consist of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Mal Holmes and Martin Cooper. The line-up will also include Stuart Kershaw for live shows.

The UK shows will also be special showcase performances in which OMD will perform Architecture & Morality in its entirety.
