Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet were formed in London in the late 1970s, and went on to become one of the most successful bands of the 80s.

They achieved ten Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums in the UK between 1980 and 1990.

Spandau Ballet were inspired by the New Romantic fashion era, and their music features a mixture of jazz, funk, soul and synthpop.

The band split acrimoniously in 1990 but announced their reunion in March 2009, complete with a tour that began in October 2009.

Hmm, nice 80s haircuts!
