Martin Kemp brings his Back to the 80s DJ Set to MECA Swindon on Saturday 18 January from 8pm until late.

The set, for people aged 16-plus, will showcase the hits of the era.
The actor, musician, producer and DJ will be presenting a show that’s quickly becoming one of the biggest 80’s nights in the UK.
As the hitmaker behind Spandau Ballet's Gold, True and countless other classics, Martin is something of an expert when it comes to the trailblazing hits of that unforgettable decade in pop music. 
Fast forward to the 2020’s and his Back To The 80s DJ show proves those timeless songs have lost none of their lustre. Those who secure tickets can expect an electrifying journey soundtracked by pop’s finest pedigree, from Duran Duran to Chaka Khan, George Michael to Michael Jackson, Spandau Ballet and beyond.
Martin said: "This show will be a lot of fun and the ultimate return to the 80s. Music is everyone’s life soundtrack and transports us all to the best times of our lives - I think we all need that right now! 
"Expect one of the most euphoric nights you’ve had since the 80s.”
Alongside his famous role as bassist in the iconic new wave outfit Spandau Ballet, who have sold millions of records worldwide, Martin is also a recognised TV personality. 
Most recently seen on hit documentary The Kemps: All Gold, which was broadcast over the Christmas period, Kemp has also made appearances on Channel 4's GoggleBox with his Capital Radio DJ son Roman, Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, plus Martin and Roman’s Sunday morning TV show. 
Martin has also played lead roles in likes of The Krays and Eastenders, starred in Gary Barlow`s Let it Shine and most recently The Masked Singer alongside his wife Shirlie. 
Last year Martin also released his music memoir Ticket to the World: My 80s Story, a joyous, nostalgic celebration of 80s culture from one man at the centre of it all, which touched on the New Romantics, Spandau Ballet, Live Aid and beyond.
80s fashion for the MECA show is an absolute must, so everybody should remember to dig out those leg warmers, shoulder pads and other stylistic stunners that helped them stand out from the pack in that iconic era. Fancy Dress is very much welcome.
