Heaven 17

HEAVEN 17 will bring their legendary synth pop sound live to Germany again in November 2026!

What began as an experimental project has become an integral part of the British music scene: HEAVEN 17 has stood for intelligent electro-pop, socio-critical lyrics and danceable grooves for over four decades.

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 world stars such as Tina Turner. Together with his bandmates from HEAVEN 17, he created an unmistakable sound that was heavily inspired by electronic pioneers such as Kraftwerk and captured the spirit of an entire generation.

The first album Penthouse and Pavement was already taking off: It achieved gold status in Great Britain in a short time and is now considered a style-defining classic. Tracks such as “Let's All Make A Bomb” and “Song With No Name” show how progressive and sonically bold HEAVEN 17 acted then and now.

With the sequel The Luxury Gap, the band consolidated their international success. With “Temptation,” HEAVEN 17 landed one of the biggest synth-pop hits of the 80s. According to Martyn Ware, the song, which should not be missing from any of their shows to this day, is “an absolute crowd puller in every context.”

In 2026, HEAVEN 17 will go on tour again with a best-of program that inspires fans and newcomers alike. The 2026 “ELECTRONICALLY YOURS” tour brings back the unmistakable sound of the 80s, enriched with the live energy and experience of a band that has made music history.
