Mike + The Mechanics are hitting the road next year for the ‘Looking Back – Living the Years 2025 Tour’.
The run will begin in March 2025 and see the band play shows throughout the whole of the UK. Fans can expect classic hits such as ‘Over My Shoulder’, ‘The Living Years’ and ‘All I Need is a Miracle’.
Mike Rutherford says “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.”
Mike + The Mechanics was originally formed in 1985 by Mike Rutherford. The band originally featured Paul Young and Paul Carrack as the frontmen and the band achieved huge commercial success in the 80s and 90s. After Young’s sudden death in 2000 the band released one further album before deciding to call it a day.
In 2011, Mike started writing songs again and invited Roachford and Howar to join him and their chemistry was instant and they released ‘The Road’ album and the band began touring again with huge success and have remained together since.
