Eighties stars Tony Hadley and Rick Astley will be topping the bill at this year's Shrewsbury Quarry concert.

Spandau Ballet singer Hadley will be joined by Astley, ABC and Go West for the concert, which will form part of the Summer Sessions at the Quarry on July 9 and 10.

Promoters IML Concerts said the artists would be playing songs from their "massive repertoire" of hit records and for the first time will also perform specially chosen duets and collaborations.

More acts will be announced nearer the event.

Keith Louch, director of IML Concerts, said they were expecting a big rush for tickets this year.

He said: "It's a real pleasure to bring the Summer Sessions back to Shrewsbury, we are delighted to be working with such a great line-up of stars.

"The evening will feature a unique programme including duets and collaborations from the artists - it is going to be a tremendous show and is sure to get the audience singing and dancing along as it has done in past years."

Advance tickets cost £32.50 with a discount for groups of more than 10 adults of 10 per cent when booked through IML Concerts. Event manager Chris Bailey said: "Once again it will be a picnic-style concert.

"We have introduced special tickets for children under 16 at £15 with entry for the under fives absolutely free."
