One of the most recognisable and legendary voices in British radio history, Tony Blackburn OBE, has announced an extensive run of dates for his much-loved Sounds of the 60s Live Tour, starting in March 2025 and running through until the end of the year. Tickets HERE
The show, an adaptation of Tony’s longstanding BBC Radio 2 Sounds of the 60s slot which attracts millions of listeners every week, will feature live music and stories from the most iconic decade in fashion, music and pop culture.
The Sounds of the 60s tour is brought to life by the Sounds Of the 60s All-Star Band and Singers, performing classic hits from the likes of Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Everly Brothers, Elvis, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Drifters, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and, for 2025, the band are adding updated medleys from The Rolling Stones, The Walker Brothers and some of the greatest soul tracks of all time.
60 years ago in summer 1964, Tony started his incredible broadcasting journey off the coast of Essex on the airwaves of pirate station Radio Caroline. Tony then went on to launch and be the first voice ever heard on BBC’s Radio 1 in 1967.
Tony’s illustrious career has seen him present on Top of the Pops, BBC Radio 1, Capital Gold, BBC Radio London and much more, as well as holding multiple awards to his name including two Gold Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Radio, becoming the first person in history to receive two of these lifetime achievement awards.
Tony is also recognised for becoming the first King of the Jungle in the original series of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here and since 2017 he has presented Sounds of the 60s on Radio 2.
