Visage concerts 2025

teve Strange is an iconic figure of the 80s. A true pioneer and one of the original new romantics. Close friends with David Bowie and Boy George, Steve has recently built up a strong relationship with Electro 80s.
Shortly after leaving punk band The Photons, Steve Strange formed Visage with then Rich Kids members Rusty Egan and Midge Ure as well as Magazine members Barry Adamson, John McGeoch and Dave Formula. Intended as a studio-based project, they signed to the small label Radar Records and released their first single "Tar" in 1979. The single was not a success, but the following year, Strange appeared in the video for David Bowie's no.1 hit "Ashes to Ashes", a song which helped to propel the burgeoning New Romantic fashion movement into the mainstream. Later that year, Visage signed a new record deal with the major label Polydor and released their second single, "Fade to Grey". The single became a top 10 hit in the UK and topped the charts in several other countries. As the public face of the band, Strange shot to stardom in Britain and other parts of Europe. Visage enjoyed a string of hit singles and two hit albums until their break-up in 1985.
