An 80s music legend and recent star of Strictly Come Dancing has announced a UK-wide 2023 tour.
Matt Goss, the Bros frontman, will perform at Newcastle's Utilita Arena in March, as part of his 17-date national tour.
The "Matt Goss Experience" tour follows Matt's recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing and an 11-year residency in Las Vegas.
The platinum artist will perform his greatest hits, and his new original music, as well as Matt's own tribute to Cole Porter, one of the greatest songwriters of all time. It promises to be a great show for fans.
Matt will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the 15-piece MG Big Band.

Following the tour, a new album with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be released in June, which is being recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios.
Matt said: "Cole Porter is one of the greatest ever songwriters, his catalogue of work is incredible and timeless.
"To take these beautiful songs with fresh, stunning arrangements breathes a whole new life into every one of them, and it is my honour to be paying such a wonderful tribute to a great man.
"The fact that I am backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the greatest big band in the country, makes this even more of a special occasion."
Tickets for Matt's tour can be purchased from his site.
