When talking about iconic 1980s new wave and synth-pop music, Howard Jones, ABC, and Haircut One Hundred come to mind.
And now, the ultimate 80s concert is about to hit the stages all across North America, ready to thrill crowds with the most prominent synth-pop stalwarts dashing out all the hits straight from the early MTV days, when the Second British Invasion dominated the channel: Howard Jones’ hits “What Is Love” and “Things Can Only Get Better”, segued in and out of ABC’s “Look of Love” and “Poison Arrow”, alternated with Haircut One Hundred’s “Love Plus One”, fantastically bringing together the songs and sounds that first brought them to fame.
Howard Jones has been a constant presence in the music scene, continuing to produce new music and touring. With sales of upwards of 8 million albums globally, and ubiquitous hits in smash series such as "Stranger Things," "Breaking Bad," "Watchmen," and more, it is undeniable that Howard Jones has stood the ultimate test of time. His mastery of an array of synthesizers is genius-level; his music is rooted in compositional complexity, lyrical quality, and distinctive individuality; and his brilliant voice didn't age a single day since he broke into the scene in 1983 with "New Song".
ABC kick-started the 1980s with their sumptuously orchestrated, unashamedly new sound for a new decade. Audiences are in for a proper treat with the long-established band jamming their classics and plenty of singalongs that are still regularly heard on the airwaves today. Frontman Martin Fry is in mighty fine vocal form and is ready to dazzle the crowd with bangers such as "When Smokey Sings", "Be Near Me", and "(How to Be A) Millionaire)".
Special guests and 80s MTV staples Haircut One Hundred will take the stage for the first time in 40 years with their original line-up, ready to remind us why they are seen as the pioneers of the tropical disco sound.
