Public On Sale Friday, April 26 | 10 a.m.
Celebrate 50 years of music with one of the greatest soul and funk bands on their farewell tour. It is a funk finale that will include their biggest hits and fan favorites, including “Pick Up the Pieces,” “Cut the Cake,” “Walk On By,” “Queen of My Soul,” “Schoolboy Crush,” “Let’s Go Round Again,” and more.
Formed in London in 1972, the band - somewhat incongruously given their Scottish roots - took the influences of their R&B heroes such as Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Stevie Wonder, and Jazz greats Cannonball Adderley and The Crusaders, then developed their own authentic sound rapidly adopted by black audiences in the US, UK and worldwide. The group’s consistently accomplished song-writing helped them to achieve several Gold & Platinum-selling albums and multiple GRAMMY nominations with Atlantic Records.
Having remained a perennial fixture at top venues & festivals across the world for over 50 years, the Average White Band’s farewell tour is the not-to-be-missed last chance for multiple generations of fans to experience the musical energy and trademark sound of one of the world’s truly great soul bands.
