Welcome to Madrid

The singer, songwriter, and music producer known as one half of the popular 80s duo Soft Cell will be performing at Shôko Madrid on 31 March as part of his Chaos & The Hits 2023 tour. The artist will be performing all his greatest hits as well as tracks from his latest album.

Peter Mark Sinclair Almond, better known by his stage name Marc Almond, rose to fame as the vocalist for the techno-pop new wave duo Soft Cell, which he founded together with keyboardist David Ball. A very popular group during the early 1980s that became one of the first exponents of synthpop in the UK.

Their biggest hit was Tainted Love, which they released in 1981, a cover of the song by Gloria Jones. The duo performed together until 1984, when they split up. In 2001, they announced they would be getting back together to record a new album and tour the UK, although they split again in 2003.

Marc Almond carved a solo career out of the successful musical duo and currently has an extensive back catalogue of records. His most recent album Chaos and a Dancing Star was released in 2020, and he will be performing tracks from this record in Madrid on his latest tour.
