PMG is pleased to announce that The Drifters will be back on tour in the UK tour this year. The tour will start on September 7 at The Hippodrome in Bristol and arrive at Dundee Caird Hall on Wednesday 27 October 2010.
The Drifters are one of the biggest-selling bands of all time with a catalogue of over 50 hits including "Saturday Night at the Movies", "Save The Last Dance For Me" "Under The Boardwalk" "More Than A Number," "Come On Over to My Place," "Kissing in the Back Row," "Hello Happiness," "Up On The Roof," "On Broadway," and many more.
It has been another incredible year for The Drifters, who have just finished a UK arena tour along with The Temptations, The Four Tops and The Three Degrees, which culminated at London's O2 arena last month. The tour followed an historic event in London in 2009, which featured The Drifters Legends - some of the best loved former members of the line up and a new album release on the Atlantic label.
Current Drifters line up member, Michael Williams, says he is very much looking forward to the UK tour: "There is something very special about the audiences that come to our shows. We often get several generations of the same family coming to the shows and we are now getting a lot of new fans to the shows. Everyone just wants to get out of their seats and dance from the start and we all have a great time."
"For this tour, we will of course be performing some of the classic hits, in particular those from the 'Bell Arista' years and we have some surprises in store in the form of some lesser known and previously unreleased tracks as well as the new material from the current album and the new single, which we are very excited about."
The Drifters current album Five Decades and Moore has been released and the new single entitled 'Do You Dream Of Me' released on Neon Records is available now. Do You Dream Of Me features Michael Williams on lead vocal and is produced by Shaun Lowe (Prince, Big Country, Sting). A new 'Live in London' DVD is also available.
