Tony Hadley - The Christmas Big Band Tour 2025

Tony Hadley returns to The Bridgewater Hall with a spectacular celebration of swing and crooner classics, as well as his own hits reimagined.

The Christmas Big Band Tour 2025 will see Tony perform a selection of timeless jazz standards and swing anthems in his distinctive, powerhouse voice, with classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Elvis Presley. He’ll also be blending the old with the new by performing stylish reworkings of Spandau Ballet classics, such as True, Gold, and Through The Barricades.

A true national treasure, the crooning, swing style not only suits Tony’s timeless singing voice, but also his natural charm as a raconteur and a showman in every sense. He’ll be joined on stage as ever by his Fabulous TH Band, as well as a full live brass section.

On the tour, Tony says: ‘I absolutely loved last year’s tour with my big band. It rekindled my excitement and passion for the songs that formed such an important part of my childhood, songs that inspired me to pursue a singing career.

For this year’s tour we will be visiting some of my favourite swing classics along with big band songs that I have never performed before. I never tire of performing True, Gold and Through the Barricades and look forward to including these great songs in the set as well!’
