Although Heaven 17 was not originally planned as a group, they have become an indispensable part of music history today.
They were formed by Martyn Ware, who was known for his work with the Human League and later became the producer for Tina Turner.
And they took off immediately: their first album "Penthouse And Pavement" was certified Gold in the UK charts after 14 weeks and is still considered a modern classic. With songs like "Let’s All Make A Bomb" and "Song With No Name," Heaven 17 remains a pinnacle of British synth pop.
Influenced by bands like Kraftwerk, the band was a project full of passion and creativity, where the musicians had full control over the music and its representation, as reflected in their songs.
With their album "The Luxury Gap," they created a pop masterpiece that conquered the international charts. Their song "Let Me Go" almost broke into the UK Top 40.
Also on the album is the song "Temptation," which later was released as a single and is considered THE song of the 80s by many.
Martyn Ware himself says about it: "Every show we do, in all circumstances and with every demographic, it just always works." Simply a hit in music history.
Now, they are coming to Germany with their "Temptation" Tour 2025, bringing their hits to the stage for you!
Join them as Heaven 17 performs four decades of music history, getting you dancing with their synthesizer sounds.
Hallo, ich bin Maya.
