Heaven 17 are taking ‘The Greatest Hits Live With Orchestra’ tour across the UK throughout November 2027.
Taking in six of the country’s finest concert halls, the run opens at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on November 4 and visits Manchester, Sheffield – where they formed in 1980 – Birmingham and Bath, before wrapping at London’s Royal Festival Hall on November 11.
They’ll be joined by special guests China Crisis.
On the run, frontman Martyn Ware said: “As a producer with BEF, and with Heaven 17, we’ve always loved orchestral textures and drama, as demonstrated on many of our albums.
“This concert series is an exciting opportunity to explore the power and beauty of a live orchestra in synergy with electronics and H17’s signature vocal arrangements. What a unique experience it will be for Glenn and I, and of course our loyal audience.”
Glenn Gregory added: “One of the most interesting things about recording our music was that sometimes we would get the opportunity to work with an orchestra and transform our songs into something beyond our original idea.
“Now we get to perform an entire set, live with a full orchestra. I am beyond excited. This is a one-off opportunity to see something very special. Don’t miss it.”
