About Heaven 17

Formed in Sheffield in 1980, Heaven 17 emerged from the ashes of the influential Human League, with Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh departing to forge their own sonic path alongside vocalist Glenn Gregory. The trio quickly established themselves as masters of sophisticated synth-pop, infusing their music with a potent mix of political awareness, sharp wit, and irresistible funk influences. Their debut album, Penthouse and Pavement, released in 1981, remains a landmark of the era, featuring iconic tracks like "Temptation" and "Geographical."

Throughout the 1980s and beyond, Heaven 17 continued to produce critically acclaimed work, consistently pushing creative boundaries while maintaining their distinctive musical identity. Their sophisticated arrangements, insightful lyrics, and Gregory's commanding vocal performances have solidified their status as one of the UK's most enduring and respected electronic acts. Their live shows are renowned for their high energy and impeccable sound, a testament to their unwavering commitment to musical excellence.
