UK music icon Toyah Willcox has announced two special shows in London and Coventry this October.
Celebrating The Best of Toyah will see Toyah perform hits from across her career, treating audiences to her signature powerhouse vocals, infectious energy and commanding presence.
These shows will support an exciting celebratory release coming in late summer 2025, with details to follow soon.
On the upcoming shows, Toyah says:
“I'm so excited to be heading out on the road this October for two celebratory shows, Celebrating the Very Best of Toyah. I can't wait to be back on stage, performing the hits from over 40 years of music. Expect to hear ‘It's a Mystery’, ‘I Want to Be Free’, ‘Echo Beach’, ‘Good Morning Universe’ – and many, many more! See you there!”
A pioneering figure in the UK’s new wave and post-punk movement, Toyah has made an indelible mark on the entertainment industry with her unique voice, electrifying stage presence, and artistic versatility.
Toyah’s groundbreaking career includes eight Top 40 singles, including ‘It’s a Mystery’, ‘Thunder in the Mountains’ and ‘I Want to Be Free’, and 28 albums, such as the Gold-selling ‘Anthem’ and 2021’s Top 30 album ‘Posh Pop’.
Her music, which blends theatricality with powerful rock energy, has earned her a devoted fan base and critical acclaim, with Toyah receiving four Brit Awards nominations including British Breakthrough Act and Best Female Solo Artist in 1982.
Toyah’s influence extends far beyond music, having starred in numerous TV, film and theatre productions, including Jubilee (1978), Quadrophenia (1979), and The Tempest (1979), and of course appearing on the most recent series of BBC Strictly Come Dancing.
Her impact on the entertainment industry has been recognised with an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Central England in Birmingham and a LIPA Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts Companionship for Outstanding Achievement in music, drama, performance and media.
Consistently selling out venues, Toyah is a must-see performer. Audiences will be treated to a vibrant performance delivered with her signature theatrical flair.
