Performing some of his favourite Swing and Big Band songs from a classic era of music from artists such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley and including hits such as True, Gold and Through The Barricades.

Tony Hadley has announced a brand new UK tour for 2025, which will be a spectacular celebration of swing and crooner classics, as well as his own hits reimagined. 

The Christmas Big Band Tour 2025 will see Tony perform a selection of timeless jazz standards and swing anthems in his distinctive, powerhouse voice, with classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Elvis Presley. He’ll also be blending the old with the new by performing stylish reworkings of Spandau Ballet classics, such as ‘True’, ‘Gold’, and ‘Through The Barricades’. 

A true national treasure, the crooning, swing style not only suits Tony’s timeless singing voice, but also his natural charm as a raconteur and a showman in every sense.

The perfect night out just before Christmas, Tony’s The Christmas Big Band Tour 2025 follows on from the success of his previous ‘Big Swing’ tour last year which saw him perform to sold out audiences across the country, and also the release of his ‘The Mood I’m In’ swing album in 2024. 

Tony will be joined on the tour as ever by his Fabulous TH Band as well as a full live brass section. 

On the tour, Tony says:

“I absolutely loved last year’s tour with my big band. It rekindled my excitement and passion for the songs that formed such an important part of my childhood, songs that inspired me to pursue a singing career. 

For this year’s tour we will be visiting some of my favourite swing classics along with big band songs that I have never performed before. I never tire of performing True, Gold and Through the Barricades and look forward to including these great songs in the set as well!”

From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony Hadley earned himself the accolade of being one of pop’s greatest vocalists. Spandau Ballet had numerous chart-topping singles and albums all over the world. 

As a solo artist Tony has performed across the world both with his band, swing bands, and orchestras. In 2005 he was awarded a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters.

Alongside his music career, not to mention his work in broadcasting on both radio and TV, Tony received an MBE in December 2019 in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List for his charitable work for the Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.
