Shill Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Really ? About the Show The iconic Adam Ant is coming to the Villa Marina! On Thursday, 16th October 1980, millions of living rooms across the UK, were set on fire by the blazing performance on Top of the Pops by Adam and the Ants. After 3 ferocious, minutes of ‘Dog Eat Dog’ the phenomenon immediately began and they would dominate the charts for the following few years with extraordinary success. Famous for huge hits such as ‘Stand and Deliver’, ‘Prince Charming’, ‘Goody Two Shoes’. . . at one point, Adam had 8 singles in the top 40 in one week! In 2008, Adam was presented with the ‘Q Music Icon Award’ placing him alongside fellow recipients Paul McCartney and Bryan Ferry. This rekindled recognition resulted in a series of low key, spontaneous gigs in 2010, which enabled Adam to select a new band and to perform several sell-out shows in London. The Good, the Mad and the Lovely Posse, played to thousands of people last year, and after his recent successful tour of Australia, ‘the BlueBlack Hussar’ is due to appear at many festivals this coming summer, before taking his raw, raucous, raunchy campaign around the UK in November., stopping in the Isle of Man on 19 April.

Newty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've been to see three so far and they have been great with different songs each time. He focuses more on the early punk stuff before the big hits although you still get those too. Great to see he's coming to the island. Love the guy.
