The Human League are an award winning, Grammy nominated British synthpop/New Wave band formed in 1977 who, after a key change in line up, achieved great popularity in the 1980s. They have continued recording and performing with moderate commercial success throughout the 1990s, 2000s up to the present day.

Originally an avant-garde all male synthesizer-based group from Sheffield, the only constant band member since the Human League formed in 1977 is vocalist, songwriter and composer Philip Oakey. Today the Human League is presented as a trio of Oakey together with long-serving female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley.
At the 1982 BRIT Awards, Human League won Best British breakthrough act.

They have over the previous three decades released nine studio albums, eighteen singles(including 8 top 10 singles in the UK and 2 number one singles in the US) and played over 350 live concerts. The Human League have sold an estimated 20 million records worldwide. Their most famous hits include, Fascination, Don't you want me, Mirror Man and Tell Me When.
