Spandau Ballet Icon Tony Hadley Steps in to Headline Saturday’s Let’s Rock Wales

As retro festivals go this one is right up there with the best of them, with a line up which keep you entertained, and singing, from start to finish.

This Saturday, LET’S ROCK WALES is heading to Swansea for the very first time, and what a line up they have in store.

Let’s Rock legend TONY HADLEY has stepped in to headline Let’s Rock Wales this Saturday July 20^th following the sad news that UB40 featuring Ali Campbell have been forced to cancel several upcoming shows due to illness. Let’s Rock festival send their love and best wishes to Ali for a swift recovery.

Part of the UK’s most iconic retro festival series, Let’s Rock Wales will take place in the beautiful setting of Singleton Park. The one-day festival will now be headlined by TONY HADLEY in a stellar line-up which also includes ABC, THE BOOMTOWN RATS, GO WEST, JASON DONOVAN, NIK KERSHAW, THE CHRISTIANS, JAKI GRAHAM, MUSICAL YOUTH & many more.

Tickets start at just £35 and I can tell you this is always popular event, which will sell out, so be quick. HERE.

Thanks to his time with former band Spandau Ballet, Tony is one of the most beloved singers of his generation. He launched a solo career following the group’s split in 1990. Tony then returned to the band in 2009 but left again in 2017.

Always a favourite here in South Wales, Jason Donovan said….. 

“I can’t wait to perform at Let’s Rock in 2024. Let’s Rock means summertime to me and I’m already looking forward to the longer and warmer days. Bring it on!”

Comment UK Live Ltd, organisers of Let’s Rock said…..

“We are so excited to be bringing Let’s Rock Wales to Swansea for the first time this summer! With so many icons of pop performing, we believe that Let’s Rock offers a great value day out for all the family – and its always such terrific fun! We look forward to welcoming you to the gorgeous surroundings of Singleton Park on July 20^th!”

The most well-known and best-loved British retro festival, Let’s Rock offers glorious non-stop nostalgic fun, with legendary musicians performing hit after hit to a family crowd of all ages, many of whom come dressed in their finest ‘80s fashion. Since launching in 2009 with a solitary festival at Cookham Moor in Berkshire, Let’s Rock has grown into the UK’s biggest retro festival series and, in doing, so has re-launched and revitalised the careers of many iconic ‘80s artists.

Last year, Let’s Rock Wales pulled into Bute Park in Cardiff, with glorious sunshine and a host of incredible acts. South Wales Life was there to capture all the atmosphere too…..

Let’s Rock works with many amazing charities including official charity partner Child Bereavement UK, who support families and educate professionals when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, or when a family is facing bereavement. Since partnering with UK Live in 2014, Child Bereavement have raised almost a million pounds at Let’s Rock events.
