Tony Hadley, London born and bred, thought his future lay in medicine until as a young lad he won a holiday singing competition and decided his vocation was to sing… The rest is history!
Tony went on to front 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 however, relationships cracked and the band split in 1990. Despite two well documented reunions, which generated the critically acclaimed rockumentary film Soul Boys Of The Western World, 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.
Last year 2022 Tony embarked on his 40th Anniversary Tour performing 40 shows across the UK, followed by concerts in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan and Italy.
He will perform at Holmfirth Picturedrome on June 15th 2023.
