Big Nights Out at the Bandstand - Sparks
Since storming into the UK charts, minds and airwaves in 1974 with ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us’, Sparks – brothers Ron and Russell Mael - have been at the cutting edge of pop, creating new musical genres and inspiring generations of musicians. The influence of “your favourite band's favourite band” – stars of Edgar Wright’s film The Sparks Brothers and creators of the award-winning movie musical Annette - has been recognised by successive generations of artists from Joy Division and Squeeze to Depeche Mode, Bjork and Beck, to The Last Dinner Party and beyond. Their impact on music cannot be overstated - as super-producer Jack Antonoff declared “all pop music is re-arranged Sparks”.
“Sparks are joy unbridled….a unique and glorious spectacle” Mojo
“a magnificent night” ★★★★★ The Times
“Wit, pathos and brutality….a hugely thrilling injection of joy and power” Classic Rock
Following the 2024 release of their acclaimed 28th studio album MAD! and the companion EP MADDER!, the band’s recent world tour was rapturously received - plaudits included Louder Than War describing the show as “a hundred minutes of energetic, thrilling pop songs” while the Spectator called it “an unadulterated triumph” and The Scotsman enthused that the “Mael brothers take fans to heaven and back”.
Concert-goers can expect musical thrills and euphoric entertainment from the career-spanning show by this legendary band.
