Heaven 17 Return To Liverpool To Provide The Luxury Gap in Its 35th Anniversary Year.

Heaven 17 are to perform their celebrated and acclaimed 1983 album The Luxury Gap in full across the U.K. throughout November and December.

Heaven 17’s The Luxury Gap was the moment when everything just clicked into place to overwhelming effect. It came after the critically acclaimed Penthouse and Pavement in 1981 and is undoubtedly a pop masterpiece.

The Sheffield trio convinced their sceptical record company that ‘Temptation’ had to be the next single. A duet between Glenn Gregory and Carol Kenyon, this song of lust, brilliantly framed by a musical structure stormed the charts and remains a momentous classic to this day. The album itself went to reach number 4 and cemented Heaven 17 as one of the most important British post-punk bands.
