Bananarama, the most successful British female band of the 1980s, play Lincoln Castle with their 'Too Hot to Handle Greatest Hits Summer Tour'.
Bananarama are playing Lincoln Castle on Saturday 19 June 2027, starting at 18:00. The show is part of their Too Hot to Handle Greatest Hits Summer Tour, which comes to the city through a partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
If you're not familiar with the name, Bananarama are the most successful British female band of the 1980s. They hold the Guinness World Record for the highest number of chart entries by an all-female group, with more than 30 million records sold and ten UK Top 10 hits. The set will draw from that catalogue, with 'Cruel Summer', 'Venus', 'Love in the First Degree', 'I Heard a Rumour' and 'Nathan Jones' among the songs they're known for.
It's a tour that looks back as much as it keeps moving. The group has recently marked 40 years since their 1980s album True Confessions, and in 2024 they released Glorious: The Ultimate Collection, a career-spanning compilation. The summer tour is built around those hits, so the set will pull from the songs that made them a household name across the eighties.
