About the Artist

ABC is a British band led by the charismatic Martin Fry, emerging from Sheffield in the 1980s with a distinctive fusion of disco funk and the new romantic, post-punk aesthetic. Their debut album, 'The Lexicon Of Love,' soared to No. 1 and sold over a million copies, solidifying their place in pop history. Known for Fry's soulful, almost theatrical vocal style wrapped in glittering, sharp suits, their performances are a blend of pristine Vegas-style pop with an urbane flair. Fans often recall Fry's vibrant gold lame suits during encores like 'The Look Of Love,' highlighting his ageless showmanship likened to a bridge between Bryan Ferry and Jarvis Cocker. This theatrical polish, coupled with their lush arrangements and evocative lyrics, make ABC's live shows a memorable celebration of '80s sophisticated pop.
