Review – Kim Wilde at the York Barbican

As popular today as ever, this style and music icon is still performing at her finest.

Following the worldwide success of ‘Here Come The Aliens’ and the recent live album, ‘Aliens Live’, Kim Wilde and her incredible band are back on the road with Kim’s Greatest Hits Tour. Last night saw them performing at the York Barbican.

Special guests on this tour are the amazing ‘China Crisis’ another incredible band from Liverpool.

China Crisis founder members, guitarist Eddie Lundon and keyboard player and singer Gary Daly, have notched up five top 40 singles including Wishful Thinking and King in a Catholic Style.

Featuring all the hit singles, this was an unmissable event not only for Kim Wilde fans but also for fans of the 80s, featuring classics such as ‘Kids In America’, ‘Hangin’ On’, ‘You Came’ and other less often heard hits like ‘A Million Miles Away’ and ‘Love Is Holy’– this was the definitive Kim Wilde show.

As with all Kim’s shows, the lighting and sound was first class, with stunning visuals and the most exciting band in the business, including the legendary two drummers!

Kim Wilde is one of the most adored female artists of the 80’s. The Voice of a generation of rebellious youth, Kim’s punchy vocals and look of the moment, alighted dancefloors and airwaves around the world. She was and remains a media darling, everyone wants to know about Kim! As popular today as ever, this style and music icon is still performing at her finest and is set to celebrate her 40 year career in 2020!
