What's confirmed vs. what's still coming

Why this tour is a big one for Simply Red

Mick Hucknall's band have been a summer staple in Europe for decades, and Summer Funk '27 is one of their biggest continental runs in years: 14 German open-air shows alone, festival stops from Tollwood in Munich to the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, and a UK August run closing with racecourse and seaside venues that suit their crowd. The tour leans on the classic songbook — Stars, Holding Back the Years, Fairground — that has kept them arena-fillers across five decades.

The run also shows how fragmented modern European touring has become: city squares, castle grounds, festival fields and racecourses, with most on-sales handled country by country rather than through one promoter.

Ticket and presale info

Dates are on sale through Ticketmaster and national promoters (eventim in Germany, local partners in Italy and the UK). Prices vary by market and venue type — open-air German shows typically start lower than the arena nights in Amsterdam and Lisbon. Buy through official channels per country; avoid resale listings for the unconfirmed Carinthia and Rome dates.
