The tour will kick off at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Sunday 1st November before calling in at Gateshead Sage, Manchester Bridgewater Hall, London Palladium, Birmingham Symphony Hall and Cardiff St. David’s Hall.

We’ve secured an exclusive 24-hour pre-sale to the tour, which starts at Planet Rock Tickets at 10am on Thursday 27th February.

As anyone who bore witness to their triumphant headline set at Planet Rockstock in December will attest, more than five decades into their career, Uriah Heep are still a phenomenal live force.

Over the past half-a-century Uriah Heep have released 25 studio albums, 21 official live albums and they’ve shifted more than 45 million records globally. In the live sphere, they’ve performed over 4000 shows performed across 60 countries.

Material performed on the tour will range from their 1970 debut ‘Very ‘Eavy… Very ‘Umble’ right through to their critically acclaimed 2018 album ‘Grazed By Heaven.’

Guitarist and sole constant member, Mick Box, enthuses: “Who would have imagined back in 1970 that Uriah Heep would still be here celebrating their 50th Anniversary?

“It is an amazing feat especially as the band are still a vibrant force in the live arena and still producing albums like the latest one ‘Living the Dream’, that has been lauded by the fans and media alike as one of their best in their career.

“It is with great pride that we enter this 50th Anniversary with the same passion, desire and love of what we do, and long may it last. There are still horizons to conquer and new songs to write and perform, and it feels like the adventure has just begun.

“A big thank you has to go to the fans that have kept with us every inch of the way, and they just keep growing in numbers by the day. Feeling good, you bet I am! ‘Appy days!”

The current incarnation of Uriah Heep features Mick Box alongside keyboardist Phil Lanzon, lead vocalist Bernie Shaw, drummer Russell Gilbrook, and bassist Davey Rimmer.
