The Human League

Formed in the late 1970s by Sheffield-based computer programmers Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware, The Human League evolved into one of the seminal '80s electro pop bands. Fronted by former hospital porter, Philip Oakey, and featuring Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall, the band went on to record some of the most influential songs of the decade.

Haircut 100 appearing at this event

Haircut 100

Of all pop’s shining, fiery comets, Haircut 100 burnt brightly, gave off heat, changed the landscape, and then, as fast as they appeared, were gone, leaving many happy memories. For 18 months or so in the early 1980s, Haircut did their thing. Who can forget songs as joyous and memorable as Fantastic Day, Love Plus One and Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) and the accompanying album, the mighty, flirty and flighty Pelican West. It was already platinum-certified in the UK only three months after release. The album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the British Top 10 and twice reached No. 2. It also charted in the US, Australia and beyond. “Haircut 100 were a revelation,” Mickey McCarter wrote for Parklife DC about the band’s show at Columbus Athenaeum in 2024. “Nick Heyward and company delivered these tunes with an upbeat boyish charm that had everyone in the venue feeling good . . . It was truly remarkable to see Haircut 100 in action. Here’s to hoping these Englishmen tour American venues again in the near future.” Well, even in today’s somewhat crazy world, wishes can still come true. Haircut 100 are returning, basking in the moment, revelling in rekindled friendships, emboldened by new material, their catalogue of hits sounding better each play and ready to take the show back on the road.
