Kew The Music 2025: Legendary 80s bands The Human League and UB40 in line-up to play at festival at Kew Gardens - dates and ticket information

Legendary 80s bands are set to perform at a concert taking place at Kew Gardens in London next summer.

The Human League and Alison Moyet have been added to the lineup for Kew The Music 2025. The 'Don't You Want Me' hitmakers - comprising Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley - and the 'Is This Love?' singer will play the summer music extravaganza at Kew Gardens in London on July 9 and July 12, respectively.

Alison’s headline set at the botanical gardens will mostly centre on her latest album, ‘Key’, and she is also throwing in reworked versions of ‘All Cried Out’ and ‘Love Resurrection,’ assorted deep cuts, and some tracks from her time in ‘80s synth-pop duo Yazoo – which she formed with former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke. Alison has been celebrating her 40th year as a solo artist and her 2025 UK tour sold-out within just days, so it’s another opportunity for fans to catch the 63-year-old singer-songwriter live.
