Haircut 100 performing at The Anvil in Basingstoke in May

The concert will take place at The Anvil on Saturday, May 16, and marks an appearance from the 1980s pop favourites, who returned to the spotlight last year with their comeback single The Unloving Plum.

Their new album, Boxing The Compass, is their second release from the classic line-up since 1982’s Pelican West.

Nick Heyward, the band’s frontman, said: "Boxing the Compass is the traditional way of finding out where you are on land or sea using the compass rose.

"We’re arriving back at the port we left 43 years ago with a log of songs from our personal travels.

"Wherever I’ve been in the world, I’ve always been Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 and we’re all ready to set sail again for more adventures on the high seas."

The band’s return began with a reunion meeting that soon led to a comeback show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, followed by a full UK tour.

Tickets are priced at £36.50, £39, and £46.50.

VIP tickets, which include a pre-show meet and greet, are £104.
