Notes
Ex-Blitz kids Steve Strange and Rusty Egan organised a "People's Palace St. Valentine's Ball" at the Rainbow. Vince Clarke managed to secure this gig[1], and Depeche Mode were paid £50.[2]. Depeche Mode was the opening act, followed by Ronny, groups Shock and Metro, and Ultravox was the main act. Naked Lunch was also supposed to perform, but cancelled due to some kind of stage accident that happened before. Marc Almond from Soft Cell was in attendance.
