The Tornados made history in 1962 as the first British band to hit No.1 on both sides of the Atlantic with their groundbreaking instrumental "Telstar." A space-age anthem that captured the spirit of an era, it remains one of the most iconic records of all time.

Today, The Tornados continue to bring the magic of the 60s to life, performing an electrifying mix of 60s pop, Mod, Northern Soul classics, and of course, their worldwide smash "Telstar." Their sound stays true to the golden era, thanks to authentic vintage instruments, including a 1964 Ludwig drum kit, classic Fender and Gibson guitars, and the unmistakable tones that defined a generation.

The current lineup keeps the band’s legendary sound alive:
