THE lead singer of a 1980s pop group is the high note of an air festival this month. 

Bournemouth Air Festival Organisers have struck gold to get Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley to perform at the Wave 105 Corona Music Stage for Night Air at the Piers.

One of pop music’s greatest vocalists, with a singing career spanning four decades, Tony Hadley, pictured, is the latest person to announce he is performing on Saturday, August 30, which will surely delight all Spandau Ballet fans.

Drum and bass chart-toppers Sigma will perform their summer anthem Nobody to Love, and hotly-tipped new single Changing during the weekend.

They will play on the Friday night along with Rixton, Loveable Rogues, Alexa Goddard and headliners Rizzle Kicks.

As well as live music, the Night Air programme features The Band of HM Royal Marines (CTCRM) performing the Beating Retreat, the Royal Marines Combat Display Team. 

The extended dusk display starts at 7.15pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with firework displays on Friday and Saturday night and beach fireworks on Thursday and Friday evening.

Tickets cost £8 (postal fees apply) with 6,500 tickets available for each night from www.bhlivetickets.co.uk.
