80s party night
THE UK'S FASTEST GROWING 80S live performance
Get ready for an incredible night out with a brilliant 9-piece live band that’s filling theatres across the UK. So True brings you two full hours of non-stop 80s classics with complete authenticity – and we’re nothing like those parody 80s bands you might have seen before.
What Makes Us Completely Different:
Forget the wigs, fancy dress costumes, and backing tracks that other 80s bands rely on. We deliver the real deal – incredible live vocals, authentic musicianship, and genuine passion for the music. Our three outstanding lead singers join our 9-piece band to create amazing vocal harmonies and explosive energy that keep everyone dancing from the very first song to the final encore.
Including massive hits from Duran Duran, Wham!, Bon Jovi, Eurythmics, A-ha, and many more is performed with the same conviction and power that made these songs legendary – because we treat this music with the respect it deserves.

THE SPANDAU BALLET EXPERIENCE – LIVE
Prepare for an unforgettable night of pure 80s gold.
So True bring one of the most iconic songbooks of all time to the stage — a full live theatre show packed with the hits you know, the moments you remember, and the energy that made Spandau Ballet a global phenomenon.
From the opening note to the final encore, this is a night built for audiences who want more than just a tribute — they want the feeling of being there.
Gold. True. Through the Barricades. Chant No.1. Lifeline.
All performed with power, precision, and a sense of occasion that turns every show into a shared celebration.
Fronted by Ian, whose vocal presence captures the soul, strength and drama of Tony Hadley’s unmistakable sound, the band deliver a performance that is as emotionally engaging as it is musically outstanding.
This is not just a concert. It’s a two-hour journey through one of the greatest pop catalogues ever written — building to a second half that lifts the room, gets audiences on their feet, and leaves them wanting more.
So True – The Spandau Ballet Experience
Big songs. Big moments. A night to remember.

What audiences are saying
I have been around for a year or two and have seen many highly acclaimed tribute bands but you guys have got to be bloody close to the top of the tree!
Allen M
Just seen you at Dereham. After seeing Spandau live many times over the years I have to admit I was a bit sceptical ( sorry) but. Wow. Fantastic show. Loved every minute. All the band were spot on. Class musicians all masters of their own instruments. Absolutely fantastic.
Lana Kiddell
Wow! Close your eyes and that could be Tony Hadley. Fantastic voice. Amazing voice so close to original maybe spot on.
Josie T
Brilliant show tonight at Weymouth. Absolutely loved it and the memories of the 80s

ACAPELA STUDIOS, PENTYRCH, SATURDAY APRIL 15th, 2023
“It was going to take something a bit special – a lot special actually – to bring me out of my self imposed blogging retirement. Lockdown and no gigs took away my musical spirit for a while and I’ve been gradually getting it back. Tonight at Acapela, I witnessed something a LOT special. So True blew the roof off the Acapela.
Now, I’m there at least every other week watching a huge variety of bands and artists and I’ve had some great nights there but not many leave me hoarse from singing. Tonight did.”
