Kim Wilde brings her stunning live show to Manchester’s O2 Ritz for a special one-off date this Christmas on 22nd December – with support from Toyah and Carol Decker (T’pau) … making up a heavenly trio of 80s female icons.
To join these ladies and with the volume turned well and truly up are Lawnmower Deth who are set to inject the party with their unique brand of heavy-as-hell rock. Obviously, with Kim joining them on-stage at Download in 2016, a re-match was always on the cards…
