The Sweet

In the organizer's words:

The Final Round Part II - Tour 2025

Guests: Stan Silver and the Brave Puppies

Glam rock icons THE SWEET are doing the second part of their final round. On February 13, the men around Andy Scott can be seen at the LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart-Wangen.

THE SWEET is one of the few notorious "glam rock bands" that had chart success in the 70s, 80s and 90s. They have sold over 30 million records and are still a "live" touring band. Sweet offers much more than just glam rock, their music is timeless and versatile. From pure pop to heavy metal, from songs like Little Willy with only three chords to complex arrangements like Love Is Like Oxygen.

1970 was an important year, THE SWEET with Andy Scott, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker and Brian Connolly met songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and record producer Phil Wainmann. This five-year partnership produced twelve top twenty hits, including a number one. The media then said that the band was a retort band. The die-hard fans knew better. The B-sides of the hits contained their own heavy rock compositions. The live performances were sensational, which was not only due to the music. Members of the band were arrested in Belgium for an obscene stage performance. All this only boosted their image.

US hits included Ballroom Blitz, which was later featured in the movie "Wayne's World", Fox On The Run, a number two, Action later a hit for Def Leppard and Love Is Like Oxygen at number five. Their album Desolation Boulevard went gold. Love Is Like Oxygen was Sweet's first worldwide hit in three years. The song, written by guitarist Andy Scott, won two Novello Awards. Sweet had finally achieved their goal - recognition in the UK. Then something almost unbelievable happened: singer Brian Connolly left the band in January 1979. The remaining trio carried on like a three-piece set, as they were once described, but despite a few hits in Europe and three more albums, it was all over after one last tour in the UK in 1981.

Andy Scott has been performing on stages around the world for decades now. Almost all shows in 2023 were sold out!!! THE SWEET have lost none of their appeal.
