Soul royalty is returning to the UK as The Temptations and The Four Tops announce a short, co headlining tour this summer, marking their first UK appearance in four years. These two Motown giants, whose careers span almost sixty years since they first performed in the UK, are joining forces to bring the golden age of Soul back to the stage. This tour promises fans a night of pure fun, singalong nostalgia, and unforgettable harmonies that truly transcend generations.
Expect an incredible evening filled with decades of chart topping hits and Number One singles like “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” “It’s The Same Old Song,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch),” “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” and “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone,” among many others. Otis Williams of The Temptations shared his excitement, saying, “I always, always love coming to the UK. I think of it as my second home. The people here make us feel so at home. They love and appreciate the music and they have always strongly supported us. They are so loyal and dedicated. What’s not to love about coming to the UK.” Lawrence Payton Jr. of The Four Tops highlighted the perfect contrast the two groups create, noting, “The Temptations with their choreography is matched by no one. When they first came out, it was so exciting to see that. It was something we’d never seen before. With the Four Tops, there’s the vocal prowess. You had that bellowing lead voice of Levi and those beautiful harmonies that they put together. So it’s like a perfect contrast. We’re not going to out-dance them and they’re not going to out-sing us.”
The short but sweet tour culminates in a special performance at the prestigious London Royal Albert Hall on July 3rd, making this a truly unmissable event for Soul and Motown fans. Tickets are sure to go fast for these iconic shows!
