The Human League will bring their iconic electronic sound to North Wales next summer when they headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion.
The BRIT Award-winners will make their highly anticipated Llangollen debut on Saturday July 5 and they will be joined on the night by The Christians and Altered Images.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am Friday from llangollen.net and ticketmaster.co.uk
The Human League, led by Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley, have shaped the sound of electronic pop for more than four decades and continue to reach a new generation through the innovative sounds and songs they created in the 1980s.
With nine studio albums, including the multi-platinum DARE, The Human League has sold more than 25 million records worldwide. Their legacy is further solidified by numerous accolades, including a BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982 and three Ivor Novello Award nominations.
The group has inspired new generations of artists, written some of the all-time classic pop songs, had Number 1 singles and albums across the world and yet, as they look to their fifth decade, they remain fiercely independent and true to their roots.
With a legacy approaching 50 years, fans can expect a night of timeless classics and the very best of 80s pop.
Supporting The Human League will be The Christians and Altered Images.
Formed in Liverpool in the 1980s, The Christians became known for their soulful sound, rich harmonies and socially aware lyrics. Led by Garry Christian, the band found success with hits like Ideal World, Harvest for the World and Forgotten Town. With their unique blend of soul and pop, The Christians continue to captivate audiences, bringing timeless songs that continue to stand the test of time.
Altered Images burst onto the 1980s music scene with their vibrant mix of post-punk energy, led by the charismatic Clare Grogan. Known for hits like Happy Birthday, I Could Be Happy, and Don’t Talk to Me About Love, the band captured the spirit of the era and continue to delight fans with performances that bring the magic of 80s pop to life.
