Change of Opening Artist for Spandau Ballet

Stetson Group regret to advise that they have had to cancel Nik Kershaw’s scheduled appearance at the ‘Soul Boys Of The Western World’ concert by SPANDAU BALLET at VectorArena on Mother’s Day, Sunday 10 May. Any of Nik’s fans that now wish for a refund may contact www.ticketmaster.co.nz. The original line-up of SPANDAU BALLET will be in full force, and will now be preceded by renowned New Zealand singer-songwriter Phil Madsen.

All five original band members of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, John Keeble, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp and SteveNorman will come together to perform their smash-hit anthems for Australasian audiences for the first timesince their 2010 Reformation World Tour which saw the band reunited.

Spandau Ballet defined the 80s in the way that The Who defined the 60’s, Bowie defined the 70’s and Oasis defined the 90’s. They have sold over 25 million records worldwide, scored numerous multi-platinum albums and amassed 23 hit singles across the globe including Gold and True, which have endured for more than three decades.

“When they play live, they have allowed their exceptional song-craft to be revealed. It’s good to have these Soul Boys back” **** The Telegraph

“A Swagger akin to when their early shows were invitation-only gatherings of London’s trendiest” *** The Standard

“When (Steve) Norman stepped up front to blow his scripted sax break in "True," the crowd received it with the kind of shouts and applause New Yorkers always gave Clarence Clemons when he took his thundering-tenor spotlight in Madison Square Garden for Bruce Springsteen's"Jungleland”. The ecstasy in the Albert Hall was that kind of loud.” Rolling Stone
