(featuring Heaven 17, )

Venue: Holmfirth Picturedrome

Rising from the ashes of the original line-up of The Human League and mixing art-school electronics with lush funk arrangements, Heaven 17 achieved considerable chart success with their hit singles singles (We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang and Play To Win from The debut album Penthouse & Pavement, followed by  the singles Temptation, Come Live With Me, Crushed by the Wheels of Industry and Let Me Go off the Luxury Gap Album.

The brainchild of Martyn Ware and born from the collapse of the original Human League, 80's synth pioneers Heaven 17 have stood the test of time and been an influence on the future of modern music for over thirty years. Their debut 1981 album, 'Penthouse And Pavement', was, and remains, a modern classic. Glenn Gregory and Martyn continue to perform the hits from their overwhelming back catalogue, including 'Temptation' and '(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang', along with unveiling their newer material.
