As the beloved frontman of legendary group Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley has, throughout his career, established himself as one of pop music’s greatest-ever vocalists. Pioneers of the Romantics scene of the 1980s, the band had a number of worldwide smash hits, including the tracks ‘Gold’ and ‘True’ – the latter of which was famously sampled by PM Dawn in 1991.

 

After a decade of being the recognisable face and crooning voice of Spandau Ballet, the Islington native aimed to carve a prosperous solo career with the likes of ‘Tonight Belongs to Us’ ensuring that Hadley’s legacy would continue beyond the success of his previous band.

 

In more recent times, Hadley has appeared all over the world, laying his suave vocals on top of some of the greatest swing hits from a classic era of music. Backed by a fabulous brass band, the musical veteran performs songs from massive artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and more.

 

March 2024 will see Tony Hadley’s ‘The Big Swing Tour’ drop by venues in Portsmouth, Guildford, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, Gateshead, Liverpool, Southend, London and Ipswich as well as Bristol. 

 

 

Tony Hadley will play at Bristol Beacon on Sunday 10 March 2024 with general sale tickets going live on Friday 7 July. Purchase your tickets HERE.
