Squeeze Announce Night At The Philharmonic Hall As Part Of 2019 U.K. Tour.

Heaven 17 Announced As Special Guests.

Squeeze have announced their brand-new tour -The Difford And Tilbrook Songbook 2019, which will see the South-London legends play their extensive list of hits as well as some rare, lesser known gems from their back catalogue and solo careers.

I am over the moon to be announcing the 2019 tour with Squeeze”, says Glenn Tilbrook. “We’ve had something of a renaissance in the last few years, and look forward to this continuing, as we will play a set of songs that are both new, contemporary and as innovative as people have come to expect from us, along with the old beauties.  I’m also excited to have Heaven 17 with us, what an extraordinary time we will have!’

With two critically acclaimed albums in the past three years, and a live show that has seen them headline numerous festivals in the U.K. (as well as sell their own sold out shows across the country), “something of a renaissance” seems like an understatement. Ever hardworking, the band will be bringing their scintillating live performances to adoring U.K. fans again in 2019, treating them to not just the hits, but also rarities that span their 45-year career both as Squeeze and solo artists. The incredible reviews of their 2017 tour speak for themselves.

Lauded as a songwriting duo, Difford and Tilbrook have been compared to Lennon and McCartney since their first release in 1978 –Take Me I’m Yours – which blasted Squeeze into the forefront of the U.K. music scene. Following up with hits such as Cool For Cats, Up The Junction, Goodbye Girl, Pulling Mussels From The Shell, Tempted, and so many more, Squeeze established themselves as not just a passing footnote in New Wave history, but as an important and vital part of quintessential British music.

These hits also established Difford and Tilbrook as some of the most prolific writers of their time, with both amassing a wealth of melody rich earworms over the past four decades, both as Squeeze and also in their solo work too. “The Difford and Tilbrook Songbook 2019” is a tour that will capture the works of two of the most talented songsmiths working today.

Tickets for Squeeze/Heaven 17 on Sunday 2nd November 2019 are on sale from the Philharmonic Hall Box office from Friday 30th November.
