Tony Hadley's Hampton Pool debut is set to be an iconic mix of Spandau Ballet classics combined with his popular solo hits.
Hadley fronted 80s New Romantic band Spandau Ballet, earning himself the accolade of being one of pop music's greatest vocalists. The band had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including the epic Through the Barricades and, of course, the international number one True and the unofficial London Olympics theme Gold.
By the mid-80s they were world-wide superstars, but relationships cracked and the band split in 1990. Despite two well-documented reunions, Tony has now left the band permanently and returned to his successful solo career, writing, recording and performing.
Nearly 40 years on from the beginning of his Spandau career, Tony's unmistakeable voice still brims with passion and urgency, as it first did all those years ago. . In 2022, Tony embarked on his 40th Anniversary Tour, performing shows across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan and Italy. He recently featured on BBC Radio 2's iconic 'Piano Room' sessions.
City Funk Orchestra
