HEAVEN 17 bring their legendary synth-pop sound back to Germany live in November 2026 with a new tour!
What started as an experimental project has developed into a mainstay of the British music scene: HEAVEN 17 have represented intelligent electro-pop, socially critical lyrics, and danceable grooves for over four decades.
The band was founded in the early 1980s by Martyn Ware, one of the founding members of The Human League, who later worked as a producer for global stars like Tina Turner. Together with his bandmates from HEAVEN 17, he created a distinctive sound heavily inspired by electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, capturing the spirit of an entire generation.
Their first album Penthouse and Pavement made a big impact: it quickly achieved Gold status in the UK and is now considered a style-defining classic. Tracks like “Let’s All Make A Bomb” and “Song With No Name” demonstrate how progressive and sonically bold HEAVEN 17 were back then and continue to be today.
With their follow-up work The Luxury Gap, the band solidified their international success.
With “Temptation”, HEAVEN 17 achieved one of the biggest synth-pop hits of the 80s. The song, which is still a staple in their shows, is said by Martyn Ware to be “an absolute crowd-pleaser in any context.”
In 2026, HEAVEN 17 will once again go on tour with a best-of program that excites both fans and newcomers alike. The “ELECTRONICALLY YOURS” Tour 2026 brings back the distinctive sound of the 80s, enriched with the live energy and experience of a band that has made music history.
