Graham Gouldman And 10cc Stay Road-Fit With 2024 UK Tour Plans
The schedule is irreverently titled ‘The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour’ in reference to the group’s sellout ‘Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour’ of 2022.
10cc, fronted by founding member and award-winning songwriter Graham Gouldman, have announced a new UK tour for spring next year. It’s irreverently titled The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour in reference to the group’s sellout Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour of 2022.
10cc have only just completed a five-week tour of Australia and New Zealand, before which Gouldman was also on the road on his 16-date British schedule under his Heart Full Of Songs banner. That iteration also features his solo work, hits with Andrew Gold in Wax, and his 1960s songbook including classic pop compositions for the Yardbirds, the Hollies, and others. This coming fall, 10cc have a 17-date European tour booked.
The group line-up also features Rick Fenn and Paul Burgess (both of whom made their studio debut with 10cc on 1978’s Bloody Tourists), Keith Hayman and Iain Hornal. “In our formative years, it was all about the songs, and it’s the same for us now,” says Gouldman. “We play them with love and energy, hit after hit after hit…we show no mercy.”
The tour includes a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall on March 25, and tickets go on sale on Friday (30) at ticketline.co.uk and royalalberthall.com.
