HEAVEN 17 will bring their legendary synth-pop sound back to Germany with a new tour in November 2026!
What began as an experimental project has developed into a fixture on the British music scene: For over four decades, HEAVEN 17 has stood for intelligent electro-pop, socially critical lyrics, and danceable grooves.
The band was founded in the early 1980s by Martyn Ware, one of the founding members of The Human League, who later also worked as a producer for international stars such as Tina Turner. Together with his bandmates in HEAVEN 17, he created a distinctive sound, heavily inspired by electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, that captured the zeitgeist of an entire generation.
Their first album, Penthouse and Pavement, was a hit: 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's work was, both then and now.
The band solidified their international success with their follow-up, The Luxury Gap. With "Temptation," HEAVEN 17 landed one of the biggest synth-pop hits of the 80s. The song, which is still a staple in every show, is, according to Martyn Ware, "an absolute crowd-pleaser in every context."
In 2026, HEAVEN 17 will tour again with a best-of program that will delight fans and newcomers alike. The "ELECTRONICALLY YOURS" tour 2026 brings back the unmistakable sound of the 80s, enriched with the live energy and experience of a band that made music history.
