Wham! 10 Days in China

Dates: 28 Jul 2026 - 28 Jul 2026

Location: The Dukes - Lancaster

Over four decades ago pop group WHAM!  Were riding high in the UK charts, however a brave move in 1985 came when they ventured into China to perform a 10 date residency.

What followed saw the double act come face to face with a cultural swing that saw their music clash with politics as they became the first pop act to perform in communist China.

The remaining member of Wham! Andrew Ridgely is seen now as he revisits this period in his music career and shares moments that were both controversial for the band yet became the defining moments for the rest of their pop career.
