One of the UK’s most iconic new wave bands of the ’80s, Culture Club brought their legendary sound and vibrant energy to Nottingham, celebrating their two most successful albums: Kissing to Be Clever and Colour by Numbers. Joining them on this nostalgic tour were Heaven 17 and Tony Hadley, adding even more star power to an unforgettable evening.
Culture Club’s performance was elevated by stunning stage design and captivating visuals, including archival photos that showcased the band’s evolution over the decades. Boy George, the charismatic frontman, effortlessly blended music with storytelling, sharing anecdotes about the band’s early struggles, the origins of their name, and heartfelt tributes to those who supported them along the way.
Though it was an all-seated venue, the audience couldn’t resist dancing as the band delivered hit after hit. Boy George’s witty remarks and engaging presence entertained the crowd, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout the night.
