2 min read
Tony Hadley is delighted to announce a brand new UK tour for 2026 – performing classic crooner tracks and Spandau Ballet hits mixed together with some Christmas favourites.
Following the huge success of last year’s sold-out run, The Christmas Big Band Tour 2026 will see Tony return to stages across the country delivering unforgettable performances of timeless jazz standards, swing favourites and 80s anthems in his unmistakable powerhouse voice, joined by the Fabulous TH Band and full brass section.
Audiences can expect classics from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Elvis Presley, alongside his big band versions of True, Gold, and Through The Barricades.
With The Christmas Big Band Tour, Tony brings the perfect night of classic swing and festive cheer, with a chance to soak up the glamour and enjoy a truly special evening out before Christmas.
From his beginnings, at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony Hadley earned the accolade of being one of pop’s most powerful and distinctive vocalists. As frontman of Spandau Ballet he achieved global success with numerous chart-topping singles and albums.
Spandau Ballet’s global success in the 1980s remains a defining chapter of British pop music, and songs like Gold have become cultural touchstones, still regularly heard at sporting events across the country.
As a solo artist, Tony performs around the world with his band, swing ensembles and orchestras. In 2005, he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters in recognition of his contribution to music.
Alongside his music career, and his work in broadcasting across radio and television, Tony was awarded an MBE in the 2019 New Year Honours List for his charitable work with Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.
