He’s back… and turning the volume up even louder.After tearing the roof off Brewhemia with his Back to the 80s show last year, 80s icon, heart-throb and Spandau Ballet legendMartin Kemp returns on Friday 1st Mayfor the ultimate kickstart to summer.

Expect wall-to-wall anthems as Martin spins the biggest hits of the decade - thinkDuran Duran, Madonna, George Michael, Chaka Khan, and yes…Goldwill absolutely be played. Cue colossal singalongs, hands-in-the-air moments and more throwbacks than your first mixtape.

So dust off the shoulder pads, tease that fringe sky-high and embrace the party as the Beer Palace is transformed into the ultimate 80s playground - all big tunes, bold looks and zero inhibitions. If you joined us last summer, you know exactly what’s coming. If you didn’t… consider this your warning.
