The legendary guitarist Robin Trower is thrilled to announce that he will be back to tour the UK in May 2025. After a brief setback with his health, the powerhouse of British blues-rock is feeling better than ever and is gearing up for an electrifying UK tour in 2025!
He will begin his UK tour on 14th May at the Opera House, Buxton, and then on to call through Glasgow (Oran Mor), Birmingham (Town Hall), Frome (Cheese & Grain) and finishing it at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 21st May. You can get tickets from HERE.
Talking about the tour, Robin said: “I was so delighted with the response to my shows last year, hence recording them as a live video. Following a successful operation I am delighted to be back playing shows in 2025, starting with the sold out Rock Legends Cruise from Miami in February, and UK dates in May!”
Fans can expect all the signature soul-stirring solos and hypnotic grooves that have made Robin a timeless icon. With a career spanning over five decades, hits like Bridge of Sighs, Too Rolling Stoned, and Day of the Eagle will soar in full force as Robin takes you on a journey through his groundbreaking catalogue and up to his most recent releases Joyful Sky, No More Worlds to Conquer and Coming Closer to the Day.
In 2023 he released his latest album, the #1 Billboard Blues Album, Joyful Sky featuring New York singer-songwriter Sari Schorr, via Provogue/Mascot Label Group which you can listen to HERE. From the album he released the smouldering singles, “Burn,” “I’ll Be Moving On” and “The Distance.”
At the time he said, “I’ve worked with some great vocalists over the years, but Sari is dynamite, just an absolute knockout,” reflects Trower. “This album really pushed me, made me write in different keys and arrange songs for her voice. I went more down the R&B route this time, because I knew she’d be great with that flavour. But the blues still underpins everything I do – and there’s definitely elements from my ’70s stuff in this new album.”
Earlier this year Trower released the ‘Bridge of Sighs – 50th Anniversary Edition’ on 2LP Deluxe Edition and 4-Disc Media Book – newly mixed from the original tapes, with an unedited stereo mix cut at half-speed especially for the Vinyl release.
For six decades, Robin Trower’s career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist’s backstory and you’ll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least resistance. In the early-’70s, Trower announced his fearless streak by leaving the security of Procol Harum for a gold-selling solo career whose Bridge Of Sighs – album filled the stadiums of North America. Since then, he’s flowed from his own projects to collaborations with everyone from Jack Bruce to the United State Of Mind supergroup alongside Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown.
