 A National Treasure and Glam Rock Royalty who have taken the world by storm for six decades.

By the early 70’s The Sweet were arguably the hottest ticket in town with a string of top ten records in the UK and Europe including Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage and The Sixteens. Sweet perfected the art of making memorable records in a highly-competitive era.

In 1975 the USA had discovered the band with Fox on the Run hitting the number 3 spot in the Billboard 100.
