Tomorrow legendary British synth-pop pioneers The Human League will bring their iconic sound to the Grand Arena at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World. Philip Oakey from The Human League joined us in studio for a chat.

They’ll be delivering a night of pure 80s nostalgia – complete with the anthems that defined a generation. Fans can expect a hit-filled set that transports audiences straight back to the golden age of MTV, neon lights, and unforgettable pop hooks.

Joining them as special guests are fellow UK synth-pop favourites Blancmange. Tickets are on sale now from Breakout Events or through Webtickets.
