After the highly praised and sold-out "Refuelled! Tour" in 2023, Mike + The Mechanics return with the "Looking Back - Living The Years 2025 Tour." The tour kicks off in March 2025 and will travel throughout the entire United Kingdom, with a stop in Germany afterward. Fans can look forward to a total of 14 shows, including stops in Dortmund, Stuttgart, Munich, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Bielefeld.

The exclusive presale starts on Wednesday, June 5th, at 10:00 AM on http://www.eventim.de, with the official sale beginning on Friday, June 7th, at 10:00 AM at all authorized ticket outlets. Their promising program includes hits like "Over My Shoulder," "The Living Years," and "All I Need Is A Miracle," as well as some of the most beloved Genesis classics. Mike Rutherford says: "It's exciting to announce that we will be going back on tour with the Mechanics. Touring with the guys last year was a real pleasure. Even though the last tour was four years ago, we quickly returned to our old habits, jokes, and camaraderie as if it was just yesterday! We had so much fun on the last tour, and the audience was so grateful and warm. When we played the last show in Dusseldorf, we all agreed that we wanted to do it again. We can't wait to see you."

Mike + The Mechanics was founded by Mike Rutherford in 1985 as a "side project to Genesis," with Paul Young and Paul Carrack as the original frontmen. Together, they achieved huge commercial success in the 80s and 90s, reaching number one worldwide and selling over 10 million albums. After the sudden death of Paul Young in 2000, the band released another album before deciding to take a break. In 2011, Mike started writing songs again and invited Roachford and Tim Howar to join him. Their chemistry was immediately evident, and they released the album "The Road." Since then, the band has been touring with great success and continues to stay together.

Doors open at 7:00 PM.
