Music lovers are invited to party like it's 1983 as Heaven 17 announce a special UK tour - with a Newcastle date - which will see them perform a hit album from their heyday.
The synth-pop favourites, who formed in Sheffield in 1980, became a big name with the launch of their second album The Luxury Gap in 1983. And now, 40 years on, they will be back playing that album - which has been described as a pop masterpiece - in full during throughout a 13-date tour.
The tour will include a date at The Boiler Shop in Newcastle on November 3, the second stop on a tour which will wrap up in their home city on November 18. In the company of original bandmates Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory - with the third, Ian Craig Marsh, having left in the band's later years - it promises a nostalgic blast for fans who will revisit the likes of Temptation, the duet which saw Gregory joined by singer Carol Kenyon and became a classic.
