About this event

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. Last year’s Big Band tour was met with glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike: “Tunes that allow his vocals the chance to fill the room, which they do effortlessly... Hadley’s sincerity and his clear love of the songs he’s singing carry through…” – The Herald “The band are tremendous, brass, big and bold…” – Broadway World “Each song was delivered with the same richness and command that made them timeless but with the added pazzazz of his rousing big band.” – Music News From his beginnings, at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony Hadley earned the accolade of being one of pop’s most powerful and distinctive vocalists. As frontman of Spandau Ballet he achieved global success with numerous chart-topping singles and albums. Spandau Ballet’s global success in the 1980s remains a defining chapter of British pop music, and songs like Gold have become cultural touchstones, still regularly heard at sporting events across the country.
