Two weekends ago Toyah played the ‘Here & Now’ show at Glasgow Green and ‘Newcastle Pride 2012’. The Glasgow concert took place on Saturday 21st July and was a huge event, with Toyah opening the show at 7.30pm. She also tweeted a photo, saying: “Glasgow was fantastic. Truly great people“. At ‘Newcastle Pride’, the following night, Toyah played a Live PA at Easy Street, part of the Northern Pride Afterparty.

The line-up includes Rick Astley, whose Never Gonna Give You was the UK’s top selling single of 1987. He will be joined by former Go-Go’s lead singer Belinda Carlisle, “Wherever I Lay My Hat” singer Paul Young, Toyah Willcox, Curiosity Killed the Cat, T’Pau and The Real Thing, who scored a No.1 in 1976 with You To Me Are Everything.
The gig, on Saturday July 21, co-incides with the hugely popular Glasgow Show and will round off a top weekend of music.
