Heaven 17 live in Augsburg: The best of 40 years of synth-pop!

The English band Heaven 17 has long since established itself in the music business and is an established name in the history of synth-pop. The group was founded by Martyn Ware, who previously enjoyed success with the band The Human League and later worked as a producer for Tina Turner. Despite initial insecurities, the band has achieved legendary status.

With their first album “Penthouse And Pavement” they managed to achieve gold status in the UK charts within 14 weeks. The album contains timeless classics such as “Let’s All Make A Bomb” and “Song With No Name”, which are some of the best British synth-pop has to offer.

Influences and breakthrough

The musical influences of bands like Kraftwerk significantly influenced Heaven 17's creative process. The musicians' straightforward commitment to their art is evident in the multifaceted songs the band has produced. With the album “The Luxury Gap” they finally achieved great international success. The song “Let Me Go” in particular required little to storm the UK Top 40.

Another highlight of this record release was the song “Temptation”, which not only became a hit as a single, but is also considered one of the icons of the 80s. Martyn Ware emphasizes the song's timeless appeal: "No matter where we play and whoever is in the audience, it always works." This song has established itself as one of the best compositions in music history.

A big reason for joy for all fans: Heaven 17 announces their “Temptation” 2025 tour. The legendary band will perform at the Spectrum in Augsburg on January 19, 2025. This event offers a unique opportunity to experience and celebrate the hits of the last four decades live.
