ABOUT THIS EVENT
80s pop hitmakers China Crisis bring their angular, brooding synth-pop to Yorkshire's vintage Crescent venue.
China Crisis may have had their big hits in the 80s, but the Liverpudlian quintet have lost none of their moody, atmospheric edge. Catch them at York's renowned Crescent venue, a vintage theatre-turned-live-music-hub with ornate Victorian stylings and killer acoustics. Singer Gary Daly's haunting, introspective vocal melodies will echo through the high-ceilinged space, underpinned by the band's signature chilly electronics and driving basslines. It's a must for fans of the band's cerebral, melancholic synth-pop, as well as newcomers seeking out a quintessential slice of Britpop history in an intimate, heritage setting. The Crescent is just a 10-minute walk from York station, and tickets are a reasonable £32.50.
