Tony Hadley: The Christmas Big Band Tour

About

The iconic Tony Hadley heads to the Portsmouth Guildhall for a big band spectacular, performing some of his favourite songs from a classic era of music. Expect to hear Swing and Big Band classics from artists such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Elvis Presley, as well a reworkings of Hadley's own hits, including True, Gold and Through The Barricades.

The crooning, swing style not only suits Tony's timeless singing voice, but also his natural charm as a raconteur and a showman in every sense.

The perfect night out just before Christmas, Tony's 'The Christmas Big Band Tour 2025' follows on from the success of his previous 'Big Swing' tour last year, which saw him perform to sold out audiences across the country, and also the release of his 'The Mood I'm In' swing album in 2024.

Tony will be joined on the tour as ever by his Fabulous TH Band as well as a full live brass section.

From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony Hadley earned himself the accolade of being one of pop's greatest vocalists. Spandau Ballet had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world.

As a solo artist Tony has performed across the world both with his band, swing bands, and orchestras. In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters.

Alongside his music career, not to mention his work in broadcasting on both radio and TV, Tony received an MBE in December 2019 in the Queen's New Year's Honours List for his charitable work for the Shooting Star Children's Hospice.
