The Human League join Live at Llangollen Pavilion summer line-up!
British synth-pop pioneers The Human League will bring their iconic electronic sound to North Wales next summer when they headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion.
The BRIT Award-winners will make their highly anticipated debut at the north east Wales town on Saturday July 5.
The Human League – led by Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley – have shaped the sound of electronic pop for more than four decades and continue to reach a new generation through the innovative sounds and songs they created in the 1980s.
Their influence on both music and culture remains undeniable, with timeless anthems like Don’t You Want Me, (Keep Feeling) Fascination, Love Action (I Believe in Love) and Mirror Man continuing to resonate with fans worldwide.
With nine studio albums, including the multi-platinum DARE, The Human League has sold more than 25 million records worldwide. Their legacy is further solidified by numerous accolades, including a BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982 and three Ivor Novello Award nominations.
The group has inspired new generations of artists, written some of the all-time classic pop songs, had Number 1 singles and albums across the world and yet, as they look to their fifth decade, they remain fiercely independent and true to their roots.
With a legacy approaching 50 years, fans can expect a night of timeless classics and the very best of 80s pop.
Supporting The Human League will be The Christians and Altered Images.
Formed in Liverpool in the 1980s, The Christians became known for their soulful sound, rich harmonies and socially aware lyrics. Led by Garry Christian, the band found success with hits like Ideal World, Harvest for the World and Forgotten Town. With their unique blend of soul and pop, The Christians continue to captivate audiences, bringing timeless songs that continue to stand the test of time.
Altered Images burst onto the 1980s music scene with their vibrant mix of post-punk energy, led by the charismatic Clare Grogan. Known for hits like Happy Birthday, I Could Be Happy, and Don’t Talk to Me About Love, the band captured the spirit of the era and continue to delight fans with performances that bring the magic of 80s pop to life.
The announcement is the latest reveal for summer 2025 which will also see James, Rag’n’Bone Man, Olly Murs, Texas, The Script and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell headline the iconic Welsh venue.
The headline concerts are presented in a partnership between Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor said: “We’re incredibly excited to announce that The Human League will be headlining Live at Llangollen Pavilion next summer. For more than four decades, their synth-pop sound and unforgettable hits have captivated audiences around the world.
“We’re looking forward to an unforgettable night filled with the anthems that defined a generation.”
Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod Dave Danford added: “The Human League have a legendary catalogue of hits that continue to resonate with fans of all ages.
“We can’t wait to welcome them to Llangollen next summer, for what’s set to be an incredible night of live music.”
