Blondie brings timeless hits, glitz and glamour to the opening show of the highly anticipated Piece Hall Summer Gigs. ✨️


Last night saw timeless music legends Blondie with famous leading lady Debbie Harry rock up in Halifax as the opener for the highly anticipated summer gigs 2024 with a hit laden electric set, it's safe to say that no other hit maker can do glitz glamour and punk like Debbie Harry and Blondie and last night the front women  most definetly brought her A game throwing shapes and energetic dance moves in sync to the beat , the famous icons brought a brilliant show, I am still pinching myself now that the actual legends Blondie played in my little home town, it really was something to see  and once in a lifetime.
Against the beautiful backdrop of The Piece Hall, The Tide is High, Call Me, Union City Blue and Atomic's new wave legendary rockers had the Halifax crowd hanging on their every word (no telephones this evening im afraid pardon the pun ) as they brought their electric set to Calderdale for there first of 2 highly anticipated live gigs this weekend.

It was so difficult to not stare and be engrosssed in watching front women Debbie Harry from the get go, her signature well known bleach-blonde hair and supermodel model bone structure sparkling rocking a simple but hip look in platform trainers only someone as cool as Debbie can pull off, She can still hits the high notes and the lower octaves with ease making it look effortless,  she really is a force to be reckoned with, performing for over 40 years and still going strong at 78 with no sign of hanging up her boots yet and plenty of gas left in the band's tank , Harry kept a high energy electric performance going on all night, the original Sunday girl had the crowds hooked line and sinker singing along to hit hits such as the tide is high, Maria, Dreaming and my all time favourite heart of glass being soulful energetic renditions having the full audience in the famous cloth Hall hanging on her every word it really was a joy to watch and the atmosphere electric, the performance was memorable as it was exhilarating even with the rain which actually helped to set the scene it really was a cracking little Friday night in Halifax, I have to mention drummer Clem Burke and bass guitarist Glen Matlock the 2 musicians a force to be reckoned with. 

Blondie play another show at the Piece Hall tomorrow Sunday 8th and I whole heartedly recommend trying to bag a ticket if you can even if you don't consider yourself a diehard fan you are guaranteed to know the songs and have the time of your life last night really did cement their star status. 

Final tickets are on sale now via ticketmaster.co.uk
