Heaven 17 are to perform their much-loved greatest hits and highlights from the last 40 years across the U.K. throughout November and December 2020, including a night at the Liverpool Academy on Hotham Street on Friday 11th December 2020.
Hailing from Sheffield, Synth Pop Masters Heaven 17 are one of the most important British post-punk bands. Taking their name from the Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange, Heaven 17 grew out of the experimental production outfit the British Electric Foundation, itself an offshoot of the electro-pop outfit Human League. In 1981 Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh left the Human League, recruited vocalist Glenn Gregory and Heaven 17 was born. A critically acclaimed album Penthouse and Pavement followed the same year.
