Spandau Ballet singer, Tony Hadley, will be playing Bridlington next year.

The singer will be performing a one night concert at Bridlington Spa on July 14th.

Tony is currently on a 40th anniversary tour playing dates around the UK and in Italy. Next July's concert will see Tony perform tracks from across his career both as the voice of Spandau Ballet, and as a solo artist.

From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony earned himself the accolade of being one of pop's greatest vocalists. Spandau Ballet had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including the epic "Through the Barricades", the international number one "True", and the unofficial London Olympics theme "Gold".

As a solo artist Tony has performed across the world both with his band, swing bands, and orchestras. In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters; whilst 2007 saw him win a new legion of fans when he appeared as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the West End stage.

Tony received an MBE in December 2019 in the Queen's New Year's Honours List for his charitable work for the Shooting Star Children's Hospice, he was presented with the honour earlier this month from Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace.
