Concert: Arena

Ticket Prices: £29.50

Three legendary Sheffield acts are coming together on one stage for the very first time to bring you the inaugural Steel City Tour – The Human League, Heaven 17 & ABC.  Playing their classic hits, b sides and rarities - this show is a must see for fans of this unique music scene which started in the early 80s. 

THE HUMAN LEAGUE – For over thirty years the band have been a pivotal and influential part of the British music scene with their sharp blend of sophistication, melody, machines and pop sensibilities. Comprising Philip Oakey, Susan Anne Sulley and Joanne Catherall The Human League has become synonymous with great music and groundbreaking records. Their accolades are impressive; eight top ten singles including a simultaneous UK and US number one with 'Don’t You Want Me?' and numerous platinum albums.

HEAVEN 17 – Fronted by the charismatic Glenn Gregory, alongside the other original members Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh (the later two former members of the Human League!), Heaven 17 have collectively pioneered British synthesizer pop through The Future (The Golden Hour Of The Future), The Human League (Reproduction, Travelogue) and Heaven 17 (Penthouse And Pavement).   Their many hit singles include the twice released classic hit ‘Temptation’, the sublime 'Come Live With Me' and 'Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry'. They are also responsible for two of the UK’s greatest 'electro' singles -  'Being Boiled' (as part of The Human League) and ‘(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thing‘.

ABC - kick-started the 80s with their own brand of pop, fusing dance floor finesse with a post-punk attitude. Featuring the iconic Martin Fry, ABC were one of the bands that defined the decade. With his gold lame suit and suave looks ABC made an impact on our hearts as well as the charts. Their hits include 'The Look Of Love' 'All Of My Heart' and 'Poison Arrow' all taken from one of the 80s most classic and timeless albums 'The Lexicon Of Love', recently voted one of the Top 100 albums of all time. Other hits include 'When Smokey Sings', 'How To Be A Millionaire', 'King Without A Crown' and 'The Night You Murdered Love'.
