7C TONY HADLEY

The Festival’s 40th anniversary Cathedral nights start with a bang, as Festival Patron and pop legend, Tony Hadley, returns to Lichfield to celebrate both the Festival’s and his own remarkable 40 years in music. Four decades since Tony first released music with his former band Spandau Ballet, his unmistakeable voice still brims with passion and urgency as it first did all those years ago. A big celebration for one of the biggest voices in pop, Tony will perform tracks from across his stellar career.

At the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony earned himself the accolade of being one of pop’s greatest vocalists, with chart-topping singles and albums all over the world, including Through the Barricades, international number one True, and the unofficial London Olympics theme, Gold. He has performed across the world and earned a new legion of fans when he appeared as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the West End stage. Still releasing his own music, his new single Because Of You is out now…

Alongside his music and broadcasting careers, 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.
