SOME of the biggest names in pop are coming to town - not only can you see them for free, but you can meet Spandau Ballet legend Tony Hadley too.

The Evening Star has teamed up with discount rail booking website www.raileasy.co.uk ahead of The Town 102FM Summer Sessions gig in Christchurch Park next Friday.

Tony will be joined on stage by Rick Astley, ABC, Carol Decker and Go West. They will play some of their many smashes and some specially chosen duets and collaborations.

Gates open at 5pm and you’re encouraged to bring along a picnic to enjoy before the music from 7.30pm. The night will end with a grand firework display.

“We’re all having a great time. We have all known each other for years and for me it’s nice to come out from the Spandau Ballet tour and get straight out with my own band playing some beautiful country houses and having a good laugh,” Tony said, adding fans can expect some favourites and a few surprises.

“I have to do True, Gold and Barricades, but aside from that I just pick songs I think the audience will like and I will enjoy singing. My set has a couple of old songs from Roxy Music and Hall & Oates and new songs from The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs.”

As well as a pair of tickets to the show and a meet and greet with the Spandau Ballet star, you and your guest will also get USB bracelets.
