Mike + The Mechanics announce brand new tour for 2025
Featuring some Genesis songs too!
Following their popular 2023 tour, Mike + The Mechanics have announced another tour to take place in 2025. Starting in March 2025, the band will take their 'Looking Back - Living The Years 2025 Tour' across the country, including dates in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Manchester, Sheffield, and Birmingham, before finishing in London at the Royal Albert Hall five weeks later.
Not only will the band be performing many of their hits, such as 'Over My Shoulder', 'The Living Years' and 'All I Need Is A Miracle', they will be performing some songs from Genesis. Back in 1985, Mike + The Mechanics was originally formed by Mike as a side project to Genesis, featuring the line-up of Paul Young and Paul Carrack.
Speaking about the tour, Mike Rutherford said: "It’s exciting to announce that we will be touring The Mechanics again. Getting back on the road with the guys last year was a real pleasure.
"Even though it had been four years, we slotted back into the old ways, the old jokes and the camaraderie like it had been a day! We had so much fun on the last tour and the audiences were so gracious and warm, when we played the final show in Dusseldorf we all agreed then that we wanted to do it all again. We can’t wait to see you."
