Tony Hadley: Christmas Big Band Tour

Flying Music presents: Tony Hadley: The Christmas Big Band Tour 2026

The voice of the 80s returns with a swinging celebration of classic crooners and his own timeless hits.

Tony Hadley returns to Glasgow this November - performing classic crooner tracks and Spandau Ballet hits mixed together with some Christmas favourites.

Following the huge success of last year’s sold-out run, The Christmas Big Band Tour 2026 will see Tony return to stages across the country delivering unforgettable performances of timeless jazz standards, swing favourites and 80s anthems in his unmistakable powerhouse voice, joined by the Fabulous TH Band and full brass section.

Audiences can expect classics from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Elvis Presley, alongside his big band versions of True, Gold, and Through The Barricades.

With The Christmas Big Band Tour, Tony brings the perfect night of classic swing and festive cheer, with a chance to soak up the glamour and enjoy a truly special evening out before Christmas.

Former Spandau Ballet frontman and successful solo artist.

Born in Islington, Tony Hadley was greatly inspired by the music of Frank Sinatra. When he was 17 years old, Hadley not only saw Ol’ Blue Eyes perform at London’s Royal Albert Hall, but also managed to get backstage and shake his hand.

Not long after, Hadley co-founded and became the lead vocalist of Spandau Ballet. The members of the New Romantic band had all gone to school together. Spandau Ballet rose to prominence throughout the ’80s, having released eight top 10 UK albums and numerous top 10 singles including To Cut A Long Story Short, True, Gold, Only When You Leave and Through The Barricade.
