Hello and goodbye, Soft Cell

"Tainted Love" was played up and down in the 80s and reached number 1 in 17 countries. It was the anthem of the 80s! Even today, fans storm the dance floor when Marc Almond breathes "Oh Tainted Love" into the microphone. After their break-up and solo projects, the comeback followed 17 years later.

After almost as many years, the band has finally released a new song with "Northern Lights" - a cool dancefloor song that whets the appetite for more and actually makes fans hope for a productive continuation.

But no, quite the opposite: it's time to say goodbye: On September 28, 2018, the synth-pop duo, founded in Leeds in 1979, will be performing at London's O2 Arena. The occasion: their "Farewell Show". In addition to "Northern Lights", the Brits will also perform "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" as their farewell song.

Too bad, too bad - but you should never say never!

"Northern Lights" - listen to it now!
