Culture Club - December 2026

Culture Club bring their blend of new wave pop, soul and reggae to Leeds Arena on 12 December 2026. Fronted by Boy George, the group revisits the songs that made their name while keeping the groove sharp and the melodies upfront. Expect a set that moves from early breakthroughs like Do You Really Want to Hurt Me and Time (Clock of the Heart) to Church of the Poison Mind and Karma Chameleon, with room for later material that updates their sound without losing its pulse.

On stage, Boy George’s warm, unmistakable phrasing leads the charge, while Roy Hay’s guitars and keys add bright textures and hooks. Mikey Craig’s bass grounds the reggae-tinged rhythms that have always given these tunes their swing, with synth lines and harmonies fleshing out arrangements built for a live room. Culture Club’s catalogue holds up in concert because the writing is direct, the choruses hit, and the mix of pop sensibility and club culture roots still clicks. A night charting four decades of songs that have crossed eras and stayed in people’s heads, played with clarity and a steady, unshowy confidence.
