scene. Nick, Kevin, Brian, Howie and AJ will perform at the Blended

with massive hits like Club Tropicana, Bad Boys and of course who
could forget the WHAM Rap! ‘Fantastic’ sold over 30 million copies

reached No.1 in the UK and proved to be the band’s commercial
breakthrough in the US. It’s since sold over 10 million copies

did, each gig they performed. We owe so much to Blondie, they will
never go out of style.
