Formed by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook (both still going strong in the band) in 1974 and quickly enlisting the help of now-legendary piano extraordinaire Jools Holland on the keyboard and Paul Gunn on drums, Squeeze are one of rock’s vital institutions with almost as many hits as they’ve had members over the years.

 

A celebrated band who have carved out a distinctive place in the fabric of British pop with their vibrantly melodic and perceptive songs written by Difford and Tilbrook the songwriting backbone of the group throughout their 50-year career – composing a formidable discography featuring smash hit after smash hit.

 

Once again, the beloved band’s upcoming tour will see them working in collaboration with UK hunger and poverty charity The Trussell Trust, inviting fans to bring food donations along to the show in aid of those in need. Support for the 2024 tour comes from Mercury Prize winner Badly Drawn Boy.

 

Squeeze’s upcoming 50th Anniversary Tour will see the band drop by venues in Sheffield, Birmingham, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle, Stoke, Nottingham, York, Liverpool, Llandudno, Leicester, Cambridge, Ipswich, Southend, Southampton, Guildford, Bristol, Cardiff, Brighton, Plymouth, Aylesbury, Reading, Swansea, Eastbourne and London.
