Dainty Consolidated Entertainment, Zaccaria Events and Sandalford Wines are thrilled to announce that Spandau Ballet, one of the most successful and influential British bands of the 1980s, will tour Australia in April 2010.

The concert tour will kick off in Perth on Saturday April 17^th at Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley. Special Guests are fellow British chart toppers, Tears for Fears.

Tickets to ghe general public go on sale 9am Monday 1st February 2010.

All five original members of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, John Keeble, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp and Steve Norman have reformed after 20 years, delighting fans the world over. Last in Australia in 1985, Spandau Ballet kicked off their Reformation Tour in the UK in October and will be performing throughout much of Europe before they make their way Down Under in April.

Spandau Ballet - Tony Hadley, Gary Kemp and Martin Kemp From their synth pop and dance pioneering early singles To Cut A Long Story Short and Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On), to the globetrotting smashes True and Gold, Spandau Ballet will be playing the hits once again.

With 25 million record sales, 6 multi-platinum albums and 23 hit singles worldwide to choose from, this is a most eagerly awaited Australian tour.

Emerging from Soho’s ultra hip Blitz Club in 1979, 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 spirit of the youth of the early 80s.

Tears for Fears, made up of duo Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, enjoyed similar success in the 80s when British bands were setting the commercial and cultural bar in regards to pop music. They have sold in excess of 22 million albums worldwide spawning massive hits Everybody wants to rule the world, Shout and Head over Heels. Roland and Curt split in 1990 after their meteoric rise through the pop charts only to reunite and release a new album in 2004. Since then Tears for Fears continue to sell out shows throughout the world and maintain their status as one of pop music’s more productive musical collaborations.
