Having spent a year away from the spotlight, Simply Red now announce details of a very special UK and European headline tour for 2027 – including two unmissable dates in Yorkshire.
The ‘Summer Funk ‘27’ tour will see Mick Hucknall and the band play a unique high-energy set, bringing good times and a celebratory atmosphere throughout the sun-kissed summer months. Joined by UK soul and funk legends Soul II Soul, Simply Red head to The Piece Hall, Halifax, on Monday August 9 and Scarborough OAT on Tuesday August 17.
Tickets go on general sale 10am on Thursday September 24 via ticketmaster.co.uk
The 2027 date is a welcome return to the Yorkshire coast for Simply Red who have twice headlined Scarborough OAT before – in 2016 and 2022.
While the all-new show will be full of their mammoth crowd-pleasing moments and biggest hits – the rollercoaster rush of Fairground, the potent funk of Something Got Me Started, the sumptuous soul of Money’s Too Tight (To Mention) – the uplifting nature of the songs will be complemented by the stunning Yorkshire coast location.
Fans can access a pre-sale for tickets for the tour by signing up to the Simply Red mailing list HERE. The pre-sale opens at 10am on Tuesday, September 22.
‘Summer Funk ‘27’ will be Simply Red’s first tour since their 2025 40th anniversary celebration. The tour sold-out almost 50 venues across the UK, Europe and Latin America, delighting fans and leading to a critical reappraisal of their talents. The tour was documented with the live album, film and box set ‘Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago’, an electrifying mix of rambunctious R&B and tender, emotive balladeering.
