Following the release of their funky new album \u2018Blue Eyed Soul\u2019 on 8 November, Simply Red revealed the details of a highly anticipated 33-date UK, Ireland and European 2020 arena tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hailed as one of the most successful live acts ever to come out of the UK, they will be firing on all cylinders delivering their all-time classic hits from a stellar career, such as \u2018Stars\u2019, \u2018Holding Back The Years\u2019, \u2018Fairground\u2019 and \u2018Money\u2019s Too Tight To Mention\u2019, as well as some raw and soulful new grooves.<\/p>\n

This brand new tour will stop in Budapest, on November 23, 2020 at Budapest Arena!<\/h2>\n

Official VIP Ticket Packages, including limited edition Simply Red merchandise, will be available for the European shows. Book online:\u00a0\u00a0eventtravel.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Mick Hucknall has been Simply Red\u2019s songwriter and bandleader since the very beginning in 1985, aided by long-serving saxophonist Ian Kirkham since 1986. The current line-up has remained consistent since 2003, and the new tour will play to the core strengths of this fantastic band. \u201cI want them to enjoy playing, for crowds to get up and move around, and everybody to put their heart into it. It\u2019s all about capturing the groove,<\/em>\u201d says Hucknall.<\/p>\n

\u2018Blue Eyed Soul\u2019 was recorded\u00a0 live with few overdubs at British Grove Studios in London. All ten tracks, including the sensational new single \u2018Thinking Of You\u2019, were written by Mick Hucknall and produced by long-time collaborator Andy Wright. Musical reference points draw on classic funk and soul: Wilson Pickett, Dyke and the Blazers, James Brown, and the roaring horns of Tower of Power. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to playing it live because it\u2019s real<\/em>\u201d, says Hucknall of the upcoming record, \u201cI want to have a good time<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n
