This band is Blondie, an American group featuring Deborah Harry, which has maintained a strong following since the release of their debut album in 1976. This is despite a break up in 1982, which lasted more than 10 years until 1997 when they reformed and dominated the charts once again with the song “Maria”.
As well as Deborah Harry, the band also features fellow founding member Chris Stein alongside Clem Burke, Leigh Foxx, Paul Carbonara, Jimmy Destri and Matt Katz-Bohen. Former members also include Gary Valentine, Fred Smith, Billy O’Connor, Nigel Harrison, Frank Infante, Eddie Martinez and Kevin Patrick. Together these musicians have created a popular sound that has remained in the hearts of music fans around the world and when they take to the stage they are certain to provide a show that fans new and old will remember for some time to come. It means that Blondie tickets are likely to be a popular draw when they go on sale, so getting their fast is a necessity.
Blondie found worldwide mainstream success with their third album “Parallel Lines” in 1978, an album that went to number on in the UK and quickly sold an abundance of copies. It was their earliest album to go platinum on both sides of the Atlantic and cemented their career or some years to come. Despite this, they had already begun to make a name for themselves with their two previous albums “Blondie” in 1976 and “Plastic Letters” in 1978. With singles such as “Hanging on the Telephone”, “Picture This” and “Heart of Glass”, they had made their mark, which would be maintained by further singles like “One Way or Another” and “Sunday Girl”. Throughout their early career they would have further success with albums like “Eat to the Beat” (1979), “Autoamerican” (1980) and “The Hunter” (1982). It would then be 17 years before they reappeared with “No Exit” and found new success with the single “Maria”, which dominated the charts in 1999 and saw them return to the mainstream with performances on “Top of the Pops”. To this day they have continued to operate as a popular band, with the album “The Curse of Blondie” (2003) confirming that they are a band to be reckoned with.
When Deborah Harry, Chris Stein and co. take to the stage, fans know that they are in for one great show and so getting hold of Blondie tickets is a must when they go on sale. Like any band, their true home is the stage and this provides an unbeatable location to experience some iconic classics.
