Holly Johnson, former lead singer of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, plays Lincoln Castle with special guests Haircut 100 and Toyah.
Holly Johnson plays Lincoln Castle on Saturday 26 June 2027, with doors opening at 18:00 and a curfew of 22:30. If you've got the name but can't quite place the voice, he first came to fame as the lead vocalist and lyricist of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, one of the biggest-selling bands of the 1980s. He was the voice behind their three consecutive UK number ones, 'Relax', 'Two Tribes' and 'The Power of Love'.
He left the group in 1987 and went on to a solo career, starting with the album Blast and singles like 'Love Train', 'Americanos' and 'Atomic City'. Earlier this year, he toured the UK and Europe marking the 40th anniversary of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's debut album, Welcome to the Pleasuredome, so this date comes as part of that wider look back at the band's early records.
There's more to him than the music, too. Beyond the stage, he's an internationally recognised visual artist and writer whose work explores identity, fame and survival, and he's a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ visibility and human rights. It's a good reminder that for some, the pop career is just one part of the story.
