GLAM rockers The Sweet will be bringing their Ball Room Blitz to the Parr Hall just before Christmas.

The band, who rose to fame in the 1970s bringing androgynous looks and crunching guitar pop to the music world, will perform their 'Blockbuster Christmas Show' in Warrington on December 21.

Known for hits like Blockbuster, Fox On The Run and Love Is Like Oxygen, The Sweet are still in demand all over the world.

Just days ago they performed in Holland and over the weekend they will be playing in Germany before a show in Israel in November. Their UK tour will then run throughout December.

The Sweet had their heyday in the 1970s when they had 13 top 20 hits in the UK.

They came to international attention when they released Fox On The Run which hit the top five in the USA and is still their biggest selling single worldwide.

The single recently found a new audience when it was featured on the trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

The Sweet disbanded in 1981 but they reformed when original guitarist Andy Scott met the band's former agent by chance in London in late 1984.

Andy reunited with original drummer Mick Tucker and among the new line-up at that time was Iron Maiden's Paul Day. The band – albeit with different members – has continued since then.
