Info
On November 8, 2027, Heaven 17 bring “The Greatest Hits” to Symphony Hall in Birmingham, this time backed by an orchestra. It’s a chance to hear the band’s sleek synth-pop and new wave-funk engine blown up to cinematic scale, without losing the snap of their club-ready grooves.
Formed in Sheffield in the early 80s out of the first shake-up of The Human League, Heaven 17 built a sound where electronic programming, heavy bass lines and pop choruses meet sharp arrangements and a taste for soul. The set is expected to lean on the era that defined them: the cool bite of “Penthouse and Pavement”, the instantly recognisable “The Luxury Gap” run, and the big crowd moments that made tracks like “Temptation”, “Come Live With Me” or “Crushed by the Wheels of Industry” live staples. With Glenn Gregory and Martyn Ware at the core, this orchestral format promises a different angle on songs made for both the dancefloor and the stage.
