Kim Wilde, the English singer and pop icon, emerged as one of the defining artists of the 1980s with her debut single, “Kids in America,” which became an instant international hit. Known for her distinct blend of pop and new wave, Wilde quickly established herself as a powerful voice in the music scene, captivating audiences with her edgy glam punk style and commanding vocals. Throughout the early 80s, Wilde released a series of chart-topping hits, including “Cambodia,” “Chequered Love,” and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”, which showcased her versatility and ability to redefine pop music trends. Her distinctive sound blended catchy melodies with introspective lyrics, appealing to a wide audience and helping her achieve multi-platinum success worldwide.

In the 1990s, Wilde took a brief hiatus from the music industry to focus on her family and explore a passion for gardening, later becoming a well-known television presenter and author on the subject. However, her passion for performing never waned, and by the 2000s, Wilde returned to the stage, drawing in longtime fans and a new generation. She has since been involved in numerous musical projects, including successful tours, new album releases, and collaborations with contemporary artists.

In 2025, she is set to join a stellar lineup at 80’s Orchestral in Dublin, where she will perform her classic songs with an orchestral backing, adding a powerful new dimension to her beloved tracks.
