It’s official. Spandau Ballet will be having another tour after they split 20 years ago. This British band had just announced that they will be having a British tour this coming October then they’ll also be having their world tour.
10 years ago, Spandau Ballet had a different kind of reunion. They met each other again in court while settling for the royalties’ issue. Today, Tony Hadley, Martin Kemp, Gary Kemp, John Keeble and Steve Norman are in good terms and are happy to be back playing music once again.
They made their announcement while on board the same ship, the HMS Belfast, they were on board in 1980 for their Spandau gig.
Tony Hadley said that they will kick off with their 8-day tour on October 13th in Dublin and it will end on October 28 in Manchester. They believe this is not just going to be a reunion tour. They think this will go on for months and they may make new music together.
Spandau Ballet had been quite popular in the 80’s. They did some funk, soul and jazz but they settled eventually to pop songs. They had platinum and gold albums since 1981 to 1989 and their most popular song is entitled “True” from their 1983 album with the same title. “Gold” was also a hit as well as “Only When You Leave” from their 1984 album Parade. Since their split, Spandau Ballet had released several collection albums as well
