Info
On 26 July 2026, Bents Park in South Shields hosts a summer sing‑along with ABC and Chesney Hawkes at the top of the bill. ABC bring the sleek pop craft and sharp tailoring that made them standouts of the new pop era. Led by Martin Fry, they blend synth‑pop sheen, disco accents and orchestral hooks into songs made for collective choruses, from The Look of Love to When Smokey Sings, with plenty drawn from across their catalogue.
Chesney Hawkes adds feel‑good energy and big choruses built for a sing‑along. Expect crowd‑pleasing pop spanning the late 80s to early 90s, with hooks you know by heart and the kind of momentum that keeps voices raised from start to finish.
Supporting, local 80s sensations Nuromantica fire up a full‑throttle retro pulse: glossy synths, new romantic anthems and dancefloor‑ready favourites. A tight, high‑energy set to set the tone before ABC and Chesney take over, and an easy invitation to sing along from the first note.
