**TONY HADLEY**, former lead singer from one the biggest bands of the 1980s, **Spandau Ballet**, and one of Australia’s favourite touring artists has announced a new National tour for 2026.  
Alongside his Fabulous TH Band, Tony will perform all the Spandau Ballet hits we know and love – including True, Gold, Only When You Leave, Round & Round and more, plus solo material from across Tony’s career.   
  
“**_Australia!  I am so happy to be coming back in 2026 for a big national tour. After the fantastic shows earlier this year in Adelaide, Hobart and Perth, I’m excited to take the tour across all the capital cities next year. See you in March!_****_”._**  
  
It has been over forty years since Tony Hadley first released music with his former band, Spandau Ballet. From his beginnings at the forefront of the New Romantic movement, Tony 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, including the epic _Through the Barricades_, the international number one _True_, and the unofficial London Olympics theme, _Gold_.   
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; whilst 2007 saw him win a new legion of fans when he appeared as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the West End stage.  
In 2018, Tony released _Talking To The Moon_, The album was incredibly well received, became BBC Radio 2’s Album Of The Week and the 1st single Tonight Belongs To Us was Single Of The Week.  In early 2024 he returned to his love of swing music and released _The Mood I’m In_ – featuring songs from his 2007 album _Passing Strangers_, remastered them and added 5 additional tracks including a new song ‘Walk Of Shame’.   Later this year he will be releasing a new swing album and in 2026, fans can expect a new solo contemporary album.  In 2019 he was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours List for his services to charity.
