ABC – O2 Apollo
November 21, 2025
ABC have announced the return of their iconic Lexicon of Love Orchestra tour for 2025, which will see them perform their timeless debut album, ‘The Lexicon of Love’ in full across the UK, alongside other hits from the band.
The Lexicon of Love was originally released in 1982, skyrocketing to number one in the charts. It was produced by Trevor Horn and voted by many as the ‘best British album of the decade’, cementing ABC’s place in music history.
The album showcases Martin Fry’s distinctive, soulful voice with timeless classics from the band like Poison Arrow, The Look Of Love, Tears Are Not Enough and All of My Heart. Many worldwide hits and eight studio albums from the group have followed.
ABC continue to demonstrate that even now, more than 40 years on from The Lexicon Of Love, Martin Fry’s song-writing and stagecraft is still as contemporary as it was in the beginning.

Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling R&B singer and songwriter Mario has announced a UK headline tour for April to May in 2025. The dates have been announced in support of his highly anticipated new album Glad You Came, which is set for release on December 13.

Mario’s dominant 2000s run began after the church-bred singer was signed by Clive Davis to J Records during his teenage years. During this time, he went on to release the Top 5 hit Just A Friend, as well as Let Me Love You – the generation-defining serenade that spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Mario’s subsequent album, Turning Point, generated a ‘Best Contemporary R&B Album’ Grammy nomination, as well as two Billboard Awards. He has had a total of four debuts inside the Top 5 of Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, which began with his gold-certified debut, Mario.
