Saturday August 20th 2011 sees one of the most recognisable and powerful voices from the eighties make his UK Festival debut, Holly Johnson will be making his Rewind Festival debut this year. As lead singer and lyricist of multi million selling sensations Frankie Goes to Hollywood, he enjoyed phenomenal commercial success during the 1980s with hits including "Two Tribes", "The Power of Love" and their controversial debut "Relax". All taken from the award winning L.P "Welcome to the PleasureDome", Following those up with their secnond album "Liverpool" which spawned the singles "Rage Hard" and "Warriors of the Wasteland". After Holly and the band split in 1987 and a lengthy court case against the record label ZTT, Holly went on to have an equally successful solo career, with platinum selling album "Blast" reaching the top of the charts in 1989. He followed this up in 1991 with "Dreams that money can't buy" featuring the singles "Where has love gone" and "Across the Universe". It was not until 1999 that Holly released his 3rd solo album "Soulstream" on which he recorded a new version of "The power of love" to mark the new millenium on his own label Pleasuredome.
A limited number of tickets for the festival are still available by going to www.rewindfestival.com. Holly performs on the Saturday along with other 80's icons including Bananarama, Howard Jones, Fiction Factory and many more.
