About Spandau Too:

Spandau Too is the UK's leading live tribute act to the iconic 80s band, Spandau Ballet. Formed in 2021 and first gigged in 2022, the band has already gained a reputation for delivering both energetic and authentic live performances that capture the essence of the original band's music and style.
With their carefully crafted setlist, Spandau Too takes audiences on a journey through Spandau Ballet's greatest hits, including "Gold," "True," "Only When You Leave,” “To Cut A Long Story Short,” ‘Lifeline,” “I’ll Fly For You,” “Chant Number 1,” and many more. The band's attention to detail and commitment to recreating the sound of the original band has already earned them a loyal following of fans across the UK.
Described by music producer Bob Patmore as “the best Spandau Ballet Tribute in the World”, Spandau Too are going from strength to strength, wowing audiences with both the authenticity and delivery of the live music performance - replicating music from all 6 albums Spandau Ballet released.
Gary Kemp, writer of all the Spandau Ballet music commented on Twitter, “Sounds exactly like Tony”, whilst Tony Hadley himself endorsed the UK tour of Spandau Too in a video. Steve Norman, saxophone player of Spandau Ballet said on social media “you do us all proud.”
Music critic & blogger Nick Baker tweeted to both Gary Kemp and the band after the Acapela Studio gig in Pentyrch: "Absolutely splendid performance by @SpandauToo down here at @acapelastudio tonight - sound is fabulous and the song choice perfect. @garyjkemp @SpandauBallet your songs are treated with respect, the arrangements are sublime. A great way to experience these songs live."
