Soft Cell, the pioneering synth-pop duo of Marc Almond and Dave Ball, have announced a farewell reunion concert. Their first in 15 years, the show will take place at London O2 on September 30, marking their 40th anniversary as a duo. Of the one-off show, Almond said in a press release, “With Soft Cell I always felt something was unfinished. This last ever final show will be the best ever ending. It will be a real statement and send off, and thank you to every fan.”

Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” features in Pitchfork’s recent list “The Story of Goth in 33 Songs.”
