The Human League are set to headline Bulmers Live at Leopardstown this August.
The band will perform at the festival on Thursday, August 17. The Human League, which formed when members Phil Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Anne Sulley were still in school, went on to release nine studio albums, a remix album, a live album, and dozens of singles. They also garnered a Grammy nomination and a Brit Award on the way.
Their single “Don’t You Want Me" became the biggest selling single of 1981. With hits like "Mirror Man" and "Human" in their catalogue as well, The Human League have proven themselves experts in crafting instant pop classics.
Since their inception, the band have been continually touring, captivating audiences all over the globe. They have commanded stages alongside the likes of Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Culture Club, and they just supported Lionel Richie in Dublin's St. Anne's Park.
