The final show from Synth-pop pioneers, Soft Cell, will be broadcast from London live to cinemas across the country on 30th September.
Celebrating their 40th anniversary, this will be the group’s only and last show evert, as well as their first in 15 years.
Brought to you by leading Event Cinema distributor More2Screen, cinema screens across the UK and Ireland will broadcast live via satellite the entire show, bringing audiences front and centre to the electrifying energy and atmosphere of this momentous occasion at London’s The O2 Arena.
This is a unique way to experience an event that is sure to go down in pop music history, as one of Britain’s seminal bands, Soft Cell, ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ with an incredible finale live on the big screen.
One of the most influential groups to emerge from the electronic music scene in the UK in the 1980s, Soft Cell produced five albums of original material, book-ended by their debut; 1981’s ‘Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret’, and 2002’s ‘Cruelty Without Beauty’. The incredible string of hits Soft Cell produced during this time, including ten tracks that reached the UK Top 40 singles charts, need little introduction.
The unique combination of Ball’s musicianship and Almond’s tender yet assured delivery on songs such as ‘Memorabilia’, ‘Torch’, and of course their trademark ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ inhabits a unique place in British music history. ‘Tainted Love’, Soft Cell’s boundless Number One hit, is perhaps the most emblematic and evocative song of the era.
The film will be screened at Cineworld in the White Rose, Everyman and Vue Leeds Light.
