Description

Concert: The Sweet „Rockin` for the eternity – Show 2026“
Sweet is one of the few infamous "Glam Rock Bands" that had chart successes in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They have sold over 30 million records and are still a "live" touring band. Sweet offers much more than just Glam Rock; their music is timeless and versatile. From pure pop to heavy metal, from songs like Little Willy with just three chords to complex arrangements like Love Is Like Oxygen. 1970 was an important year; Sweet, with Andy Scott, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker, and Brian Connolly, met songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and record producer Phil Wainmann. This five-year partnership produced twelve top-twenty hits, including a number one. The media then claimed that the band was a manufactured group. The hardcore fans knew better. On the B-sides of the hits, one could find their own heavy rock compositions. The live performances were sensational, not only because of the music. Band members were arrested in Belgium for an obscene stage performance. All of this only enhanced their image. US hits included Ballroom Blitz, which was later featured in the film "Wayne's World", Fox On The Run, a number two, Action, later a hit for Def Leppard, and Love Is Like Oxygen at number five. Their album Desolation Boulevard went gold. Love Is Like Oxygen was the first worldwide hit for Sweet in three years. The song, written by guitarist Andy Scott, won two Novello Awards. Sweet finally achieved their goal - recognition in the UK. Then something incredible happened: singer Brian Connolly left the band in January 1979. The remaining trio continued like a three-piece suite, as they were once described, but despite some hits in Europe and three more albums, everything ended after a final tour in the UK in 1981. The band had 9 number one hits in Germany during the 70s and is now close to a tenth success. Do It All Over Again, the first single from the new album Sweetlife, which is now finally available in Germany. In 2017, ANDY SCOTT produced a much-noticed album with SUZI QUATRO and SLADE drummer DON POWELL under the name Q. S. P and went on an extensive tour in Australia in 2018.
For 2024, the release of the new album is finally planned. For decades, Andy Scott has been performing on stages worldwide. Almost all shows in 2023 were sold out!! THE SWEET have thus lost none of their appeal. ANDY SCOTT, founder of THE SWEET, is saying goodbye to touring life.
In recent years, the band has completed up to 12 shows in 14 days. And that every month across Europe.
Every day on a different stage in a different city. He no longer wants to endure these travel strains.
It is time for something new. Therefore, THE SWEET will only perform in selected and special locations and is aiming for so-called double shows, meaning 2 shows in the same city. Copyright: Andrew Scott
