Watch Soft Cell Play Their Last-Ever Concert
’80s English synthpop duo Soft Cell played their final concert tonight at London’s O2 Arena. The band broke up in 1984 after releasing four albums, reunited in the early 2000s, and shared a new album in 2002. Tonight was their first show in 15 years.
The 31-song set spanned Soft Cell’s discography from their first album to 2002’s Cruelty Without Beauty. They opened with “Memorabilia” from their 1981 debut Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” fittingly closed the evening. Watch clips from the concert and see the full setlist below.
