The Sheffield homecoming promises a thrilling celebration of some of the most recognisable songs of the Eighties, including Temptation, Come Live With Me, Crushed by the Wheels of Industry and Let Me Go.
Formed in Sheffield in 1980, Heaven 17 emerged from the city's groundbreaking electronic music scene after Ware and Ian Craig Marsh left The Human League, recruiting Gregory as vocalist.
Their platinum-selling 1983 album The Luxury Gap produced the smash hits Temptation and Come Live With Me, cementing their place in British pop history.
Now their pioneering electronic sound will meet the power of a full live orchestra in what promises to be an unforgettable celebration.
Martyn said: “This concert series is an exciting opportunity to explore the power and beauty of a live orchestra in synergy with electronics and H17’s signature vocal arrangements.”
Glenn added: “Now we get to perform an entire set, live with a full orchestra. I am beyond excited. This is a one-off opportunity to see something very special. Don’t miss it.”
Joining them are Liverpool favourites China Crisis, whose Eighties hits include Wishful Thinking, Black Man Ray and King in a Catholic Style.
