ABC, the iconic dance-pop and new romantic group from Sheffield, have secured a place in the pantheon of British pop music since the early 1980s. With their vibrant blend of disco, funk, and sophisticated pop, led by the ever-charismatic Martin Fry, ABC delivered a string of chart-topping classics such as “The Look of Love,” “Poison Arrow,” “Be Near Me,” and “When Smokey Sings.” Their seminal debut album, The Lexicon of Love, set a benchmark in the genre, and their artistic evolution has been celebrated across nine studio albums, culminating most recently in the 2024 compilation The Best on ABC.

The band's enduring stage presence was highlighted by a series of headline live music dates across the UK, including shows at Manchester O2 Apollo, London Palladium, Liverpool Philharmonic, and Glasgow SEC Armadillo. ABC’s energetic concerts showcase their flair for glamour and modern pop, thrilling generations of fans with anthems that defined an era. Their recent performances remain a vibrant testament to their influence and longevity in the live music scene.

Looking ahead, ABC will join Culture Club as a special guest on The Singles Tour at major UK arenas, including The O2 in London and Utilita Arena in Birmingham and Sheffield, further cementing their legacy as a cornerstone of British pop.
