Get ready to experience the iconic sound of the 80s as Heaven 17 take to the stage!
For a generation, their sophisticated synth-pop anthems provided the soundtrack to a vibrant era of UK music culture, and now you have the chance to hear all the greatest hits that propelled Heaven 17 to stardom.
From the sleek, politically charged groove of "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" and the irresistible dance-floor filler "Temptation", to the sophisticated soul of "Come Live With Me" and the industrial energy of "Crushed by the Wheels of Industry", every track is a timeless classic guaranteed to have you singing and dancing along and relive the magic of their groundbreaking albums, including the seminal debut "Penthouse and Pavement".
The core of Heaven 17 remains the dynamic duo of Glenn Gregory's distinctive vocals and the innovative electronic wizardry of Martyn Ware. Their intelligent lyrics and stylish sound set them apart, earning them a significant place in the New Romantic and synth-pop explosion that dominated the UK charts.
BLANCMANGE
Get ready to immerse yourself in the iconic sounds of the 80s with synth-pop pioneers Blancmange. Their unique blend of electronic textures, art-school sensibilities, and wry British wit soundtracked a vibrant era of UK music culture.
Fronted by the unmistakable vocals and songwriting of Neil Arthur, Blancmange, originally a duo with the late Stephen Luscombe, carved a distinctive niche in the burgeoning synth-pop scene. 1 Their early singles weren't just catchy tunes; they were sonic landscapes that blended the experimental with the accessible.
Prepare to sing along to their greatest hits, tracks that dominated the charts and remain beloved anthems today. From the hypnotic, Middle-Eastern-tinged groove of "Living on the Ceiling" to the melancholic beauty of "Waves" and the infectious energy of "Blind Vision" and "Don't Tell Me," their setlist will be a journey through pure synth-pop gold.
