Belinda Carlisle, singer of the Go-Go’s and “Heaven Is a Place on Earth”, plays the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Saturday 16 October 2027. Go West join her as special guests.
Carlisle grew up in Southern California and co-founded the Go-Go’s in 1978 as their lead singer. Their debut, Beauty and the Beat, topped the American album chart in 1981.
They remain the only all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to reach number one on the American album chart. The band entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
After the Go-Go’s split in 1985, her solo records brought “Mad About You”, “Circle in the Sand”, “Leave a Light On” and “Summer Rain”. Her memoir, Lips Unsealed, followed in 2010. Her It’s Been Heavenly tour looks back over more than four decades of her music.
Go West are Peter Cox and Richard Drummie, an English duo formed in 1982. They won the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 1986, and “King of Wishful Thinking” was on the soundtrack of Pretty Woman.
