Spandau Ballet star Steve Norman is headed out on a solo tour to celebrate 40 years since the group released their debut album ‘Journeys to Glory’.

The band released their classic album in March 1981 and, although the group is no longer active, the musician plans to honour the milestone with a string of live dates. 

“As much as it pains me that my main band is not currently a working unit, I simply cannot let this important milestone slip by without further pomp and ceremony,” he says. 

“Spandau will always have a special place in my heart, as will JK, Gary, Tone and Mart. This tour is me and The Sleevz rocking a fine line between our interpretation of the songs whilst keeping true to the integrity of the original versions. And ultimately and most importantly, the audiences’ ears.

“Luckily, I’m in both bands. I’ll make sure we don’t stray too far. I’m already fired up and thoroughly looking forward to performing this album in front of a live audience. For a few weeks in February 2022 myself and The Sleevz, flying the Spandau flag.”

Steve will be accompanied by his five-piece band The Sleevz – which includes his son Jaco on bass – and will perform the album in its entirety for the first time.

The shows will also include later Spandau classics, including True, Gold and Only When You Leave.

Tickets are on sale now.
