Step into a night of legendary synth-pop and new wave nostalgia as Bedford Summer Sessions presents The Human League alongside Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey and Blancmange at Bedford Park on Thursday, 10th July 2025.

The Human League are true pioneers of British synth-pop, forming in 1978 and quickly becoming icons of the 1980s with their innovative sound, political edge, and striking style. Their landmark album DARE and unforgettable hits like “Don’t You Want Me” and “Human” have influenced generations of musicians and fans worldwide. With over 25 million records sold and a legacy that spans club culture, fashion, and music, The Human League remain a defining force in pop history.

Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey brings the magic of one of the decade’s most beloved bands to the stage. As the voice and songwriter behind classics such as “Hold Me Now” and “Doctor! Doctor!”, Bailey’s performance is a celebration of synth-driven anthems and polished showmanship that continue to captivate audiences decades later.

Blancmange complete the lineup with their unique blend of electronic experimentation and sharp lyricism. Known for cult favourites like “Living on the Ceiling” and “Waves,” Blancmange add an artful edge and electronic cool to the evening’s proceedings.
