Culture Club

Culture Club perform in Glasgow alongside ABC and Haircut 100, bringing classic British pop and new wave to the stage.

Culture Club is a British new wave and pop band formed in London in 1981. Signed to Virgin Records, the group released their debut album, Kissing to Be Clever, in 1982. They are joined by ABC and Haircut 100 on this visit to Glasgow. ABC formed in Sheffield in 1980, releasing the landmark album The Lexicon of Love in 1982. Haircut 100 emerged in London in 1980, blending pop and funk elements before releasing their debut album Pelican West in 1982.

This bill brings together three prominent acts from the early 1980s pop and new wave era, performing a repertoire drawn from their established catalogues. The concert takes place at OVO Hydro, a venue that hosts large-scale concerts and entertainment shows in Glasgow. This evening suits listeners interested in the commercial pop and post-punk developments of the early 1980s British music scene.
