Simply Red: five Italian dates for the Summer Funk '27 tour

Simply Red will return to Italy in summer 2027 with five shows of the new "Summer Funk '27", the tour that will bring Mick Hucknall and co. back to European stages after the celebrations for their fortieth anniversary in 2025.
Alongside the already announced date on June 25th in Piazza San Marco, Venice, four new dates have been added: July 26th in Rome at a venue still to be announced, July 27th at the Anfiteatro degli Scavi in Pompeii, July 28th at the Fiera del Levante in Bari, and July 30th at the Lucca Summer Festival, in the Area Mura Storiche.

The tour has been built around the funkiest, most driving side of Simply Red's repertoire, with a setlist centred on the band's greatest hits and tracks like "Fairground", "Something Got Me Started" and "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)".
The tour will take in some particularly striking locations, from the Anfiteatro degli Scavi in Pompeii to the Colosseum in Pula, all the way to Sauerland Park in Hemer, Germany. Among the most significant dates is also Simply Red's first-ever concert at Gunnersbury Park in London.

Alongside Mick Hucknall's vocals, the current line-up includes Ian Kirkham on sax, EWI and brass, Kenji Suzuki on guitar, Kevin Robinson on trumpet, horns and percussion, Roman Roth on drums, Gary Sanctuary on keyboards and Orefo Orakwue on bass.
The Italian dates are produced by D'Alessandro e Galli. The presale reserved for Radio Monte Carlo will run from 10am on September 23rd to 10pm on September 24th, while general ticket sales will start at 10am on Friday, September 25th.
