About

Emerging from Soho's ultra hip Blitz Club in 1979 during another economic depression, Spandau Ballet formed at school in North London before becoming the hottest unsigned band on the planet. From underground, fashion and music obsessed working class Londoners, to global superstars, the band set the pace, the styles and the sound of the 1980s.
 
Not only did their albums sell by the millions, but their look and style impacted on the fashion world and beyond. They created their own style, combining creativity with entrepreneurship and the 'can do' spirit of early 80s youth at a time of crisis and upheaval eerily reminiscent of 2009.  Spandau Ballet are both commercially and culturally enormous.

    Spandau Ballet still fantastic!

    by Marc2011 on 4/30/15House of Blues - Chicago - Chicago

    Loved Spandau Ballet in high school but lost track of them in the late 80s. Never knew what happened to the guys. Caught the show in Chicago out of curiosity with friends from high school, but was very pleasantly surprised by the talent and musicianship displayed by the band. Spandau is tight, funky and sophisticated, and gave a taste of its entire evolution from Brit new wave to funky dance-pop to the quintessential 80s pop/soul of their best known U.S. hits. They even threw in some clever new songs. Thoroughly impressed by the band. Tony Hadley's voice is still in excellent shape. Watching Steve Norman bounce around from guitar to percussion to blistering sax was awesome. John pounded the drums and the Kemp bros kept it rocking. More than nostaglia, Spandau Ballet is playing at the top of their game. Highly recommend.

    Incredible Show

    by Andrew1962 on 4/30/15Massey Hall - Toronto

    The reunion of Spandau Ballet was an explosion of energy that took Massey Hall back to a time when Spandau Ballet was at the top of the charts. Spandau Ballet is at their best!

    Best show seen in years.

    by PNC2015 on 4/30/15Massey Hall - Toronto

    Great sound, great music, amazing voices and entertainment. Singing audience with band was so cool. You could tell how much fun these guys were having in performing. All smile and teasing each other. The venue was perfect as well, very intimate. Money well spent for a great band. Hope they come back soon.

    Spandau Rocked the house!!

    by DRJCERAC on 4/28/15House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    I was familiar with some of the bands hits, and was intrigued by the fact that they were so popular in the UK in the 80's and then sold out the O2 in London 2009 in ~ 20 minutes. Now I understand why! To bad we didn't have the same exposure to them as the UK, but I'm a bigger fan now than when I bought my tickets! If they come back, I'm coming back with more friends!!

    Unbelievable Concert Experience!

    by Username0915 on 4/21/15O2 Arena - London

    I recently saw Spandau Ballet at the O2 Arena in London and they could not have put on a more incredible live performance. I can't believe they are playing a smaller venue like the Beacon! This is sure to be an experience you cannot miss!

    Better than i expected

    by ndconcerts on 1/28/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    Other than a few of their hits, I didn't really know Spandau Ballet. Still, I was interested in seeing this concert, because it had been thirty years since they last performed in the states, and I'm always happy to experience new music, even if it's not. The show, which was emceed by '80s-era DJ Richard Blade, was an energetic and fun experience, even if I didn't know the majority of the music. I did like most of what I heard, quite a bit. While I wouldn't go see them again, I have to say that the vocals and general performance were top-notch, and my friend and I had a good time.

    Spandau Ballet hasn't lost it's touch-magical

    by DQ40ish on 1/28/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    Spandau Ballet should not have waited 30 years to return to the states. They are such a classy group of musicians. So very talented beyond any words. The show was a magical evening. We loved their new material and can't wait to hear it being played on the radio. I will never forget this magical evening with my boys from Spandau Ballet. Simply the best !

    Blown away!

    by daisies911 on 1/28/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    Always loved Spandau back in the day but never saw them live, so now that they are – ahem – “older,” I had no idea what to expect. But, wow, they were fantastic! As a band they sounded really tight – Steve Norman is a BEAST; he has so much energy, it’s no wonder he blew his knee out on stage in the ‘80s -- and Tony Hadley’s voice was as smooth as ever. I did see him solo a few years ago and thought he didn’t have the range anymore, but he proved me wrong at this show. And all the guys look amazing -- I want to know what their secret is! (It certainly isn’t clean living, as evidenced by Tony’s partaking of Jack Daniels during the show. Hey, whatever works.) The crowd was fantastic too, singing along with almost everything. We were all very loud during the biggest hits, like “True” and “Gold,” and it felt like a big celebration. The only eye-roll moment came from the chick in the pit who saw fit to get on some guy’s shoulders, lift her shirt and flash the band. Tack-y! Save that for the trashy hair bands, girlfriend -- Spandau Ballet is all class.

    SPANDAU BALLET FANTASTIC

    by neworldman on 1/27/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    From the moment I got there, I was amazed with the facility, great place to catch a show/concert, there were plenty of bars if you drink, but the restrooms were down stairs, that was ok, the seating from stage to back of theater was like an up-hill slope so you can see better, the stage was great for theater concerts, my seats were just off the floor - bit off to the side, but they were fantastic! A fantastic event/evening/concert/band/venue/5 stars across the board!

    Spandau Ballet was a treat!

    by Bibimarlowe on 1/27/15The Wiltern - Los Angeles

    I never saw the band in the 80s so when this opportunity came around again after 30 years, I seized it. It was a decision I will never regret. They played all the songs I loved back in the day (Communication is my particular favorite) and the band has not lost any of their magic. Tony Hadley, Martin and Gary Kemp led the front and they rocked the crowd. They were engaging and it seemed as if they were very grateful for the warm, loud response. I will see them again if they come back (yes, please)!
