Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey

Thompson Twins are widely regarded as one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s. Known for their unique fusion of pop, new wave, and synth-driven dance music, combined with an eclectic visual style, the band enjoyed consistent success in both the singles and albums charts throughout the decade on both sides of the Atlantic. They are also among the select group of British artists who successfully “broke” America.
Tom Bailey, the band’s lead vocalist and instrumentalist, now performs under the name Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey. His shows celebrate the band’s greatest hits, including classics like Hold Me Now, Doctor Doctor, In the Name of Love, Love On Your Side, If You Were Here, Lies, Lay Your Hands On Me, and King for a Day. In addition to revisiting these iconic tracks, Tom also showcases songs from his debut solo album, Science Fiction.
For many, Thompson Twins’ cool syth sound was the soundtrack to their lives in the eighties. The latest Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey live performances have received ecstatic audience receptions, cementing an ever-growing fanbase loyal and new.
