A trio of legendary 80s artists have been announced for a spectacular open-air concert as part of the Live At Chelsea concert series, which returns in 2026 for the first time in four years.
Holly Johnson, Tony Hadley and Heaven 17 will all perform in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Hospital Chelsea on Wednesday 10 June.
Holly Johnson first came to fame as the charismatic lead vocalist and lyricist of Frankie Goes to Hollywood who achieved huge success as one of the biggest selling bands of the 1980s. With his distinctive voice, flamboyant stage presence, and unapologetically bold persona, Holly was the voice of their huge number one hits Relax, Two Tribes and The Power of Love – which created the group’s reputation for provocative, cinematic pop that combined social commentary with irresistible dance rhythms.
After leaving the band in 1987, Holly forged a solo career launch with album Blast and singles Love Train, Americanos and Atomic City.
Recently, Johnson has toured the UK & Europe marking the 40th anniversary of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s debut album Welcome To The Pleasuredome.
From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony Hadley earned himself the accolade of being one of pop’s greatest vocalists. As lead singer of Spandau Ballet he had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including the epic Through the Barricades, the international number one True, and the unofficial London Olympics theme, Gold.
As a solo artist, Tony has performed across the world with his incredible live band, as well as swing bands and orchestras, delivering Spandau Ballet classics alongside material from across his back catalogue, including 2018’s Talking To The Moon, as well as his acclaimed swing albums: 2024’s The Mood I’m In and last year’s If I Can Dream.
In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, and in 2019 he received an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List for his charitable work.
Synth-pop stars Heaven 17 were formed in Sheffield by Martyn Ware (keyboards, drum machine, vocals) and Ian Craig Marsh (keyboards), and were initially founding members of The Human League, before they joined forces with vocalist Glenn Gregory to form the group, which would go onto achieve huge hits such as Temptation, Crushed by the Wheels of Industry and Come Live With Me.
Their 1983 album The Luxury Gap is a defining record of the era, and achieved platinum-selling status, as the band went onto become a cornerstone of the British post-punk movement and build a foundation for modern music that continues to bear its influence today, as Heaven 17 last year completed a sold out UK tour and festival dates across the UK & Europe.
Set within the 17th-century grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea - designed by Sir Christopher Wren and home to the world-famous Chelsea Pensioners - Live At Chelsea transforms one of London’s most historic and beautiful landmarks into a world-class outdoor stage.
