Strike ‘Gold’ at The Gliderdrome with Martin Kemp

The Spandau Ballet legend and former EastEnders actor will appear at the Spain Place venue on Saturday, August 31.

Following a string of sold out shows around the country in 2018, Martin will be back on the decks to spin all the best hits from a seminal pop era.

A show spokesman said: “As the hitmaker behind Gold, True and countless other classics, it’s safe to say Martin knows a thing or two about the crème de la crème of what was a truly trailblazing decade for pop music.

“Let him be your guide on a night that will transport you back to the era on a roller coaster ride through its finest pop picks.”

Martin will be joined by a support DJ who has not yet been announced – but keep an eye on The Gliderdrome on Facebook for the latest news.

Music is from 7.30pm to 12.30am.

Early bird tickets, priced at £15, are available from The Gliderdrome; Burgess, Thompson and Richardson, in High Street; Chris Cook Print, in Main Ridge East; The Bakehouse, in Wide Bargate, and The Black Bull, in Kirton.

• The date for the Martin Kemp gig was originally set for Saturday, October 12, but the date has since been changed to Saturday, August 31, due to unforeseen circumstances.
