ABC Singer Martin Fry to Perform at Scarborough Spa Next Year

Wednesday, 24 January 2024 11:23

By Matthew Pells

ABC’s Martin Fry’s will be heading to Scarborough Spa in 2025.

The Flamboyant and charismatic, Martin Fry enjoyed worldwide success as the lead singer of 80s New Romantics ABC.

Now he’s hitting the road this autumn, for his most intimate nationwide tour yet. Performing the hit songs of his career from Poison Arrow to The Look Of Love, and from Be Near Me, to When Smokey Sings, Martin will also share his personal stories of more than four decades in the music industry.

Martin will be performing in Scarborough on Saturday May 10th 2025.

Formed in Sheffield in 1980, ABC redefined glamour and cool with their distinctive debut album The Lexicon of Love, which fizzed with bright ideas, and achieved TransAtlantic success. Martin harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield.

ABC – An Intimate Evening With Martin Fry follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three sell-out nights at London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography – That’s the look, that’s the look… The Look of Love.

Martin says:

“I have been very lucky in my career to have played venues around the world from massive arenas in the States to Sheffield Town Hall in my hometown, where we marked 40 years of The Lexicon of Love.

However, this tour really is something a bit different; an opportunity for stripped-back music and conversation with my fans. It will be really special, I can’t wait.”

Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Thursday, January 25, at 10am, at local venues.
